Wireguard Client

Open btchans opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

hi,

i heard about the project at the recent Nodesignal Podcast Episode. I really like what i've seen so far and looking forward to give it a try at my proxmox.

is there a module that will allow me to connect nix to a wireguardserver (running on a vps)? something like this: https://github.com/TrezorHannes/vps-lnbits-wg

so running cln-rest or lnbits over clearnet vps adress

You could include Wireguard in your configuration.nix from nixpkgs. A good starting point would the the nixos.wiki.

Sounds like you're just forwarding requests from ports on a server to your node, which should be fine. You'll at least need to open the ports on the nix-bitcoin firewall.

I'd recommend hopping into the matrix chat if you've got further support questions, the folks there are pretty responsive.

@btchans Hi!

Yes, as @bleetube pointed out you can just use the wireguard module as explained in the nixos wiki. We also have instructions for running a wireguard server on nix-bitcoin and connect mobile Zeus to it:
