<p>I’ve blogged about <a href="https://www.lonecpluspluscoder.com/2019/12/27/building-an-openbsd-wireguard-server/">putting together a WireGuard server using OpenBSD a couple of years back</a>. The main purpose of the server was to ensure a slightly more secure connection when I was on hotel WiFi. Of course thanks to the pandemic, I have barely travelled in the past couple of years so the server was mostly dormant. In fact, I kept VM turned off for most of the time. The VPN server was set…
<p>In <a href="https://www.lonecpluspluscoder.com/2020/01/16/building-an-openbsd-wireguard-vpn-server-part-2-unbound-dns-setup/">part 2</a>, I reconfigured my WireGuard VPN to use an Unbound DNS server on the VPN server rather than rely on a third party server I had used for the original quick and dirty configuration. It was important for me to set up a validating DNS server, which I did in that part.</p>
<p>In the <a href="https://www.lonecpluspluscoder.com/2019/12/27/building-an-openbsd-wireguard-server/">first part</a>, I described how I set up the basic OpenBSD WireGuard VPN server. I also hinted that I wanted to set up my own validating, filtering DNS server. With a little bit of spare time during the holidays I decided now was a good time as any.</p>
<p>In my <a href="https://www.lonecpluspluscoder.com/2019/11/27/looks-like-i-get-to-redo-my-wireguard-vpn-server/">previous post</a>, I mentioned that I somehow ended up with a corrupted filesystem on the WireGuard server <a href="https://www.lonecpluspluscoder.com/2019/01/21/setting-up-my-own-vpn-server-on-vultr-with-centos-7-and-wireguard/">I had set up earlier this year</a>. That iteration of my VPN server was built on Linux as I expected I would get better performance using the kernel-based…
<p>I’ve blogged about <a href="https://www.lonecpluspluscoder.com/2019/01/21/setting-up-my-own-vpn-server-on-vultr-with-centos-7-and-wireguard/">setting up a WireGuard VPN server</a> earlier this year. It’s been running well since, but I needed to take care of some overdue maintenance tasks. Trying to log into the server this morning and I am greeted with “no route to host”. Eh? A quick check on my Vultr UI showed that the VPS had trouble booting. The error suggests a…
