Hey all, a few things to note about this in 2022, coming into 2023:

1. Unraid now has the Wireguard - Dynamix plugin already built-in. No need to download it via the Community Applications plug-in.

2. When downloading the DuckDNS Docker container, make sure you have 'Host' selected for "Network Type". I'm not sure why, but mine kept defaulting to 'br0'. This created quite a few issues.

3. I'm not sure if my experience is the same as others, but right after you create your new Wireguard tunnel, make sure to turn the tunnel itself on! Juan's Wireguard tunnel automatically turned on after he created it, but for me (running Unraid 6.11.5), it had to be turned on manually. I spent about 10-15 minutes tinkering with it wondering why it was not working. It's because the tunnel wasn't activated. 😅

I hope this helps someone out there in some way, shape, or form!

Great tutorial, at 3:02 remember to change the slider up the top from OFF to Autostart, or like me you'll be wondering why your VPN isn't working after rebooting your UnRAID box :D
