If you're using ddns why do you need WireGuard at all?
- Skunkleton 5y agoI use a similar setup. The VPN is needed because it is the only port accessible outside my network. Wireguard is easy to setup right, and I already need it for accessing other stuff on my home network.

- anderspitman 5y agoIf I understand GP correctly, the goal is to SSH into an RPi on a home network. Since they mention DDNS, it's implied that they're connecting directly to their home router. What I'm saying is why not port forward directly to the RPi?
- 72deluxe 5y agoYes you are right. If just connecting to the Pi, port forwarding is fine (and I use this). When adding more devices at home (IP cameras etc.) and not connecting just to the Pi then the Wireguard VPN comes in.
