Orbi and VPN help
Hello all. I have spent the last month working on setting up a NAS and am at the point where I am trying to get a VPN tunnel for external access. I have found a couple older post about Netgear and th...
The Orbi does not seem to open a port until something is "listening". How about probing the Pi port 51820 internally? Pi has a firewall that is "on" by default.
It's a little frustrating that wireguard is not in the Raspbian distribution yet. Did you use this "how to" guide when installing:

Maybe I'm just an idiot (probably) in the docker-compose script I used I left SERVERURL as wireguard.domain.com because...well no body on any forum ever said anything about changing it when I posted my file. After a ping test to that domain I realized there was no response. I then changed that variable to my duckdns domain and Voila! I can connect to the internet now.
I do have a couple of questions though:
When using Traceroute against 'mydomain.duckdns.org' I get a direct hop. However when I use subsub.mydomain.duckdns.org it's 3 hops and shows my home ip address. How can I have a direct tunnel to my sub-subdomains also?
All of the what's my ip websites show my home address from my phone. How can I completely hide myself from being tracked? Is there a way to go through other servers and not see my ip?
I am very new to networking and how a packet gets form one place to another. This is alos my first time using a VPN so this may seem trivial. Thanks again.
Once again, you are far ahead of me. I have been installing Wireguard on my Pi4 and now it's dead. What I get for attempting to follow directions on a web site when I have no idea what I'm doing.
Off now to flash Raspbian on the SD card and start over.
Good Luck with Wireguard.
- Ha! Good luck and have fun.
