WARP as a personal LAN VPN?

VPN
1

Hello, can warp be used as a private network so that I can connect to devices over WAN as if they were on the same LAN network, or does that require a dedicated VPN service?

​

Thanks

2

Yes… I do this with all of my lan services. Makes proxy and authentication much easier.

3

There is an option to allow connection between WRAP TEAM devices

I would personally use Tailscale in this instance. If you have an web hosted services you want to access you might want to use Cloudflare Zero Trust.

5

Thanks! Now I just gotta figure out how to get my proxmox host on it. It doesn’t have a router level service available does it?

6

Thank you. Exactly what I wanted. Is there a minimum plan level for this?

7

I thought Warp was just a VPN out to the Internet? So you’re saying I can use Warp to VPN into my network from outside?

8

Thanks. I think I’m going to have to go with Nord though for router level support because many of my devices only run simple firmware not full fledged os

9

there is wireguard config generators available on yt/gh

10

Install Docker than run Cloudflare Tunnel

11

I have the free plan

So WARP is a few different things, you can use 1.1.1
1 as your DNS server and that’s part of the WARP system, but there’s also the WARP client which allows you to make use of that via a VPN, I think. That same client can connect to a Cloudflare Zero Trust workspace and allow users to access network resources from the perspective of the tunnel host. I’m pretty sure you can configure routing and whatnot, especially if you had more than one tunnel. You can include and exclude IPs from the VPN so users’ connections aren’t affected (not that they seem to be, must be an exception on the default gateway). I use this to access a network that has access to nowhere but a firewall; I configure it to allow me to access what I need and then lock it off when I’m done. Keeps critical components separated and inaccessible, since even with VPN access there’s not a lot you can do. Still have some improvements to make, though.

Yep, though it’s not really a VPN in the traditional sense. But I have a docker container running cloudflared inside of my network. From that I can reach resources inside of my network. Cloudflare handles the DNS and the Certificate as well as the authentication.

14

you can run the Cloudflare Tunnel (cloudflared) on any device on the network eg. Docker, Linux container (LXC), VM or a physical box and then configure your access via the Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard to access your internal devices.

That is very cool. I was able to set it up to use my existing tunnels to access my homelab, but I don’t see any options to change the destination network.

What I would love to have is an option to open the Warp apps and choose to connect to “My Home” or “Mom’s House” and then warp will connect to the corresponding tunnel. I have it working with my house, but I don’t think I’m able to addle multiple different network locations… atleast I don’t see how to choose which tunnel warp will latch on to.

16

That’s what I’m stuck on atm unfortunately. I just have two workspaces that I sign in and out of ://

17

I see. Let me know if you figure it out. You had to set up these two workspaces with different cloudflare accounts?

18

Yeah, two different accounts atm, one is for a separate purpose. I’ll probably dm you, just a bit busy atm.
