Hey! I built an unraid server a bit ago so I’ve been having fun getting that all set up, then bashing my head into a wall for a week trying to expose stuff since my apartment doesn’t let us pick an ISP or configure the access points they have installed. (I have to be behind like 3 layers of NAT.)

I’ve gotten things working by using an oracle VPS with rinetd and a wireguard tunnel to forward traffic on a couple ports to traefik/infrared on my server. This works great for the HTTP stuff and even the minecraft servers seem to be working alright so far!

My current issue is that for some reason the domain I set up (vanilla-mc.domain.com) for the minecraft server doesn’t seem to be working. My DNS records currently look like:

Even when I lose the SRV record and specify the port manually it doesn’t seem to work (tcpdump shows nothing on that port on the VPS unless i use it’s ip directly). The other ones all work fine so I feel like I’m just misinterpreting how it should work for a non HTTP endpoint. Any advice would be appreciated :)

Also, if there is a better way to forward traffic that would preserve the original IP, that would be cool. Infrared just shows the wireguard IP when someone connects. (Haven’t checked but traefik probably does as well for that stuff.)
