I set up Wireguard on my phone, server, and computer to let my phone access my home network when I’m outside of it.
It works for the most part, but the inconvenient thing is that on Android you can only have 1 VPN running at a time. I want to use Mullvad VPN for the rest of my network connections for privacy.
I could make a single Wireguard config that defines 2 peers to connect to mullvad and my home VPN at the same time, but by doing this, I lock myself to a single server without the benefits of being able to swap servers at the same time.
Locking myself to a single mullvad server results in:
- less privacy, since my IP is more static
- inability to switch to bypass a VPN block
On desktop, I can have multiple wireguard VPNs at once, but if I have both running at the same time, then my LAN is accessed over the home VPN which is routed through Mullvad VPN. It goes
Computer -> Mullvad server -> Home VPN -> Home server
which is pretty wasteful.
Additionally, I’d prefer not to not do something like: Phone -> Home VPN -> Mullvad server -> destination, as my upload speed is pretty bad and this would throttle every non-local connection
What options do I have?
Why not just pay for Bitwarden.
Uh. You know you’re responding in a self hosting community right? Should I explain why we’re all here?
I do, and the point still stands. If this is something vital to you, why not let someone else be responsible for security/hosting/issues/etc.
Alright, I’ll entertain this a little. Besides the one issue that I just brought up, there are no other issues. I host a dozen other things, and the VM I have it on is sandboxed besides the wireguard tunnel, so security isn’t a problem.
The better question, is why not self host?
