Looking for some guidance/thoughts here. I'm going on vacation and will be bringing my laptop which runs 21.04.
I use wireguard on my iPhone to connect to my home network whenever I need to access files stored on my NAS, which runs Ubuntu Server 20.04. Everything works great with the connection between my cell and my home network and I can SSH into my home network from my phone using my NAS' home network IP address. "ssh [user]@[NAS_IP]".
However, I'm now trying to get my laptop to connect to my home network via the cell's hot spot, but it's not working as I thought it would. I want to do this because I typically store everything from my laptop to my NAS instead of my laptop's SSD.
So my phone connects to my home network via wireguard and Dynamic DNS, and my laptop connects to my cell via WiFi hot spot. I can browse the web just fine using this set up, in fact I'm typing this question on said connection.
However, I'm unable to connect to my home network via my laptop using "ssh [user]@[NAS_IP]" as I expected. I've added my laptop's new IP address, issued by my cell, to my NAS' firewall, at first for one specific port, and then again to anywhere. But when I try to connect, I just get a time out error.
Any tips on how to get this to work?
