If you want to remotely access apps, services, and other devices on your home network, you can set up a VPN server on your network.

#OPNsense includes options for IPsec, OpenVPN and WireGuard VPN. In this video I show how to set up Wireguard VPN with the latest version of OPNsense and WireGuard. I also show how to access a hosted web app behind the virtualized instance of OPNsense that I'm running, which should simulate remote access to your home network.

Since OPNsense added a peer generator to its WireGuard web interfaces, setting up WireGuard on OPNsense has never been easier!
