@feld but the whole point is the packets to my ISP aren’t addressed to Google, they’re addressed to my ISP. My ISP doesn’t have Googles IP. Packet for 8.8.8.8 goes to the default gateway but the default gateway is not 8.8.8.8.

You’re asking me to have Googles IP, my ISP to have Googles IP and Google to have their IP and somehow get it from A to B to C in the right order.

Sorry for bothering you if I’m not being helpful.

@feld lets replace your WAN IP for your VPS with a name, “Kyle”. WG endpoint can be Bob.

You are asking traffic for Kyle to be accepted by Kyle and then forwarded to Kyle over a tunnel between Kyle and Kyle but it’s actually Bob. You are making this 1000% harder by trying to map your IP to a machine that doesn’t have it by IP address.

You have a few ways to do this:
1. NAT all incoming traffic to the IP address of the machine on the other end of the tunnel(all Kyle goes to Bob)

@feld having the IP on an interface doesn’t mean it routes. In order to accept a packet it must be a)addressed to an IP the device has in its interfaces, or b)be directly routable to a nearby gateway with a static route.

The server will not accept the packet unless it’s on the loopback, in which case it says “oh, that’s me” and take the packet, and then loopback it and it falls through the WireGuard static route and is sent the way you want.

@feld Linux server wasn’t configured as gateway until you added it as loopback.

@hellomiakoda @LibertyForward1 well I have a couple UPSes that throw F06 and after I replaced the battery they’re fine. I don’t know if this helps you. I do suspect the F06 was a false positive for something else.

@hellomiakoda @LibertyForward1 F06 on APC units usually means line fault and battery didn’t work. Do you have the ability to see the maintenance specs with PowerChute or apcupsd?
