Connect to DigitalOcean droplet localhost through WireGuard

Hey there,

I used a PiVPN setup at home and was able to access localhost resources using my mobile phone successfully. I now however am looking to access some localhost resources hosted on a DigitalOcean doplet. I have managed to install PiVPN the same way, and I am able to connect to the wireguard server and route all traffic through the VPS successfully (my IP shows as the DigitalOcean server IP).

What I can not do however, is access localhost resources. For testing I installed an Nginx server running on localhost, which is at 10.18.0.5 on the droplet, but I can not reach this from my home computer.

Configs are as follows:

Home computer (named alice for testing):

[Interface]

PrivateKey = ILLHtp3d6qyP2wfWvBgsys3tTGfLUv6at7Jf9t/Y2X4=

Address = 10.6.0.2/24

DNS = 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1


[Peer]

PublicKey = XXX

PresharedKey = XXX

Endpoint = XX.XX.XX.XX:51820 (VPS IP address)

AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::0/0

WireGuard server:

[Interface]

PrivateKey = XXX

Address = 10.6.0.1/24

ListenPort = 51820


PostUp = iptables -A FORWARD -i %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -A FORWARD -o %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQ>

PostDown = iptables -D FORWARD -i %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -D FORWARD -o %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MA>



### begin alice ###

[Peer]

PublicKey = XXX

PresharedKey = XXX

AllowedIPs = 10.6.0.2/32

### end alice ###

Some extra notes:

• I can reach the Nginx server with curl 10.18.0.5 on the VPS, the Nginx server does run
• I am able to ping 10.6.0.1 and 10.18.0.5 from the home computer

Any help would be appreciated!
