I have a server with wireguard in a container with host networking. I want to assign an ipv6 subnet for each peer (eg: fd42:413d:a91f:dd37::/64) that the client (my laptop) can freely use all the addresses in that subnet and corresponding port ranges as a separate network interface. Meanwhile on the server, that exact same ip and port is routed to that specific client but through the tunnel.

Here’s an example:

  1. Server config

    [Interface]
    Address = fd42::1/128
    ListenPort = 51820
    PrivateKey = <key>
    
    [Peer]
    PublicKey = <key>
    AllowedIPs = fd42:413d:a91f:dd37::/64
    
  2. Client config

    [Interface]
    PrivateKey = <key>
    Address = fd42:413d:a91f:dd37::1/64
    
    [Peer]
    PublicKey = <key>
    Endpoint = server.local:51820
    AllowedIPs = fd42:413d::/32, fd42:413d:a91f:dd37::/64
    
  3. Run a server on the client

    python -m http.server 8080 --bind fd42:413d:a91f:dd37::1 -d dist
    
  4. Access on the server

    curl -svL http://[fd42:413d:a91f:dd37::1]:8080/
    

I can’t get step 4 to work. It’s also entirely possible that my lack of knowledge in networking is making me think this is even possible in the first place. Any help is appreciated!

    It doesn’t have to be the same address, just one that I can be sure is associated with a specific peer.

    Here’s what I see with ip -6 route

    2405:201:d03c:d849::/64 dev enp1s0 proto ra metric 100 pref medium
    fd42::1 dev wg0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
    fe80::/64 dev docker0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium

    default via fe80::8ea3:99ff:fe5a:d796 dev enp1s0 proto ra metric 100 pref high
    

    I’m a little confused where the NAT comes in.

    I think I misunderstood how NAT works.
