And by Local Network, I mean here on my workstation, not at the peer or VPN docker/server/provider.
I am not very knowledgeable with VPNs but I got to learn something new and when I do, I make a note of it. The problem was that when I have my VPN active to poke things at home, I could not print documents at my workstation at work.
Googled a lot, trid a few things and then realised that adding IP addresses to AllowedIPs in the PEER section, adds an exception for an IP address on the server’s side, NOT my workstation.
“Ooooh, what does this checkmark do?”
Confusingly enough, WireGuard names things differently between the Windows and the iOS app. So here’s what you need to check to gain access to your workstation’s local network:
Open the WireGuard control panel.
Click once on the vpn you want to change
Click the EDIT button on the bottom right
iOS: UN-Tick the box on the bottom left that says: “Exclude private IPs”, then click SAVE
Windows: UN-Tick the box on the bottom left that says: “Block untunneled traffic (kill-switch)”, then click SAVE
Yes ,this poses a security risc, so I made two VPN profiles. One with and one without so I can easily switch from one to the other.
It can happen that your TeamViewer instance is not starting any more after switching over to the new interface or that you really do not like the new looks of the new interface.
Windowskey + R
Type RegEdit and press enter
Copy the following line and paste it into the “address bar” of RegEdit and press enter.
so all you need is a usb stick with a windows 10 installer, boot to that, click “Repair my pc” after it asks you for the language -> open the troubleshooter -> open the command line interface
then switch to the C drive
then cd Windows\System32\
rename osk.exe osk.old|
rename cmd.exe osk.exe
close and boot windows normally
click the On-Screen-Keyboard which now opens cmd.exe
net user “username” *
type new password
make sure undo your rename of the cmd.exe and osk.exe things after you’re done
