Working on my first blog post about port forwarding and WireGuard.
I realized I want to be 100% sure everything works and I am not talking any BS.
So I'll do everything from scratch myself again with a clean setup and empty firewall rules. Therefore, I need to install a separate OS for that and rent a separate VPS. And then I thought, if I put all that effort into it, I might as well record it and add a video to the finished blog post.
Kind of like a "proof of no BS", lol
Almost done with the video ... for the first part, lol
But while verifying my knowledge, I learned a lot of additional knowledge, lol
Everything sent over the wire is UDP. The protocols (like ICMP) are handled by the virtual network interface. So you only need to allow UDP over the physical network interface. Interesting. Layered protocols in action!
