Does the autodiscovery for NoMachine work on Wireguard VPNs as well?
I use, and love, Wireguard, but I think out of the box Wireguard does not support multicast. And I expect that NoMachine also depends on multicast to do its autodisovery. Probably with mDNS and DNS-SD.
Upon googling now, it does seem like some people have successfully been able to get multicast working over Wireguard. For example:
> Hey! Just in case you (or anyone else browsing this) still needs this, i've got avahi working over my wireguard client-to-site connection. I can access my home LAN computers using hostname.local from any VPN-connected device.
> I think the missing piece was adding 224.0.0.251/32 and ff02::fb/128 (multicast addresses) to allowed ips.

Likewise, there seem to be some additional useful information relating to mDNS / Avahi on this issue on GitHub, for various situations:

And here is someone who got DLNA (which also uses multicast) working through site-to-site Wireguard VPN:
