yeah with the wireguard plug in

sorry had to sneak away there for a bit

had to open up ports and firewall rules. Wasnt a big deal. But just very manual

I guess my first question is does every single device have to be a node or can I use a node to access the entire subnet

im reading the docs but some of it is confusing

ok, so there's a few different ways to go about this

in the demo video, the idea was, you have a mesh network of devices, and they get access to a remote site via a gateway

that gateway provides access to the full (unmeshed) site

so if you've got a netmaker network on 10.10.10.0/24, and a private subnet on the LAN of 192.168.1.0/24, that can be accessed via gateway which can live on either the router or on any machine in the remote network

you can do the same on the remote network to access the other site

in that scenario, only devices running the client have access to the subnet

the other option, which we haven't documented or done much testing with, is to have a netmaker network of two devices, each running on the gateway. Both are egress gateways, allowing access to their respective subnets. In that scenario, you still need to configure outbound on the router to use the netmaker interface in order for non-meshed devices to reach the remote gateway

ah okay thats probably why im wasnt understanding the docs

so basically site to site with access to entire subnet on each side. Then il need to make my laptop and smartphone a client

That way while im between the two or just remote in general, I still have access to it

yes that will work in either scenario, you'll just also add an ingress gateway, probably to the netmaker server

So I need a network for each or just the default as a gateway

you could do it either way, but default network would work

if you're looking to just access the two private networks remotely, I would put a netclient on the two routers, make an egress gateway out of each netclient pointing to the private network, and put an ingress gateway on the nemaker server

so you'd have just 3 nodes. The default netmaker node, and the two routers

then you can use opnsense to configure access to the two networks from each other

hmm alright, Im going to let that stew for a bit to make sure i understand the concept

i think its the whole ingress egress gateway thats confusing me

it's really just an easier way to hook phones and laptops into the network without needing a "full mesh"

it still uses wireguard, just generates static configs for you to add device access via a single node.

i think when you say netclient, Im thinking node

yes, netclient == node

oh cause im trying to figure out how to add nodes to this default server

pardon me for my newbness
