I already had Pi-Hole up and running. I tried to install PiVPN a couple of times, but couldn't get it to work. Thanks to your video I finally got it up and running. You really are a lifesaver! I can't thank you enough! Tnx! Tnx! Tnx! ... P.S.: At first the QR-code didn't show properly, because I was using VNC Viewer. This was solved when I used SSH.
I have Spectrum Internet so don't have the option to set up a static IP address. However, I can reserve an IPV4 address for either the wireless on the ethernet, or both. Will that work?
Q: IN this VPN setup the Raspberry Pi WireGuard VPN is not the other side of your internet connection. It's Computer to Raspberry Pi WireGuard VPN to ISP. (Not Computer to internet connection/ISP Raspberry Pi WireGuard VPN) If you IP scan your internet connection it will give you your WAN IP (Your Router IP) or am i missing something.
I’m not an expert in networking but I’ll explain as I understand it. The VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between two devices, in this case my phone and the pi. When I’m connected to the VPN on my phone, everything goes through the tunnel to the pi before actually going to the requested url. That’s why my ip shows as the same as my pi. How does the tunnel work? That is where the ISP comes in. The are the “post office” or “delivery driver” for all my tunneling as well as to the rest of the internet. They support the connection between my phone and my pi, then from the pi to the internet.
For Indians out there, most of the ISPs only allow port 80 as open and they literally have blocked every incoming port possible ! So no matter howmuch you try its not gonna work
What IP address are you adding (internal IP) when you are port forwarding? When I add IP of my raspberry pi, I can load anything on my phone when VPN is on.
2 years on and this is still usefull😊. Awesome!
