Hey guys,
I selfhost a server at home where I run a couple of services. Wireguard is one of them. I also have another house where I live every couple of weeks for a few days. Netflix blocked me on the second house for account sharing. As I run my own wireguard and the tv in the second house runs AndroidTV I created a wireguard config (I run wg-easy) and installed the official Wireguard app on AndroidTV. Sadly netflix still blocks me which is weird because all traffic of that tv seems to be running over the tunnel.
Here is the config:
` [Interface] PrivateKey = XXX Address = 10.8.0.3/24 DNS = 1.1.1.1 MTU = 1420
[Peer] PublicKey = XXX PresharedKey = XXX AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0 PersistentKeepalive = 0 Endpoint = vpn.XXXde:51820 `
I also posted this on reddit selfhosted where it sadly got removed. Some suggestions were that somehow DNS requests or IPv6 traffic still got through without using the wireguard tunnel which doesn’t make much sense because usually the wireguard app puts everything through the tunnel.
I also edited the conf to also tunnel all ipv6 traffic with adding ::/0 under allowed IPs but that also didn’t resolved the problem.
Is there anything else I could try? Are there different solutions? I’m aware that there are other approaches to this problem (using Jellyfin) but I really want to figure out this problem as it doesn’t make any sense to me. The whole traffic should be going over my home server and it seems it doesn’t.
Has anyone gotten this kind of setup to work?
Thanks for any help, have a good day!
Did you solve it? I am in the same situation and nothing seems to help… Maybe wireguard, being inside a docker bridge network, isn’t forwarding correctly IPV6 packets. Or maybe Netflix checks more than just the public IP

Maybe a DNS leaking problem.
Haver you seem what’s your ip and ipv6 on the foreingner house?
Maybe your wireguard connection is creating a lan, but you didn’t configured an exit node or didn’t connected to the exit node.
Another solution could be using Tailscale as well
Yes. I installed a browser on the androidTV and it showed my local ip from back home (where the wireguard host runs) but no ipv6.
I have to look into the exit node thing as it doesn’t say anything to me but thanks for the Idea!
Tailscale should have the same problem as it basically runs on wireguard as far as I know. Are there any other things tailscale itself changes? I will try it tho because why not. I could probably also try headscale as I rather stay on the open source side ?
Tailscale only make easier to set exit nodes and manage wireguard setups… Try it and tell us what happens…
Anyway, I don’t know exactly what’s going on. Maybe you’re forwarding some packages to your wireguard VPN, like TCP/80, but not UDP or TCP/443. Check if everything is being properly forwarded, so all your connection is from Wireguard
