Hi! I've done a bit more thorough googling, because of you I knew what to look for a bit better. I have a wireguard vpn on my fritz box router enabled, which allows me to connect to the vpn from my laptop.
I've read up on how to acces local devices and I found something about adding an IP to the "AllowedIPs" section, but I don't really get which IP I should add.
It should be set to your local subnet, for example 192.168.1.0/24
see https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/638889/make-local-resources-available-when-connected-to-wireguard-vpn
This would tell the peer with this configuration to send all traffic for the whole 192.168.1.0/24 through the tunnel, not sure that is what OP wants. (Didn't look at the link though)
While not what OP wants, this is what I want, but it isn't working for me. I am trying expose a subnet behind nat, to a public server. I am currently testing this by attempting to expose the vlan created by libvirt on my laptop to my public vps. I followed the linked point to site guide, and ironically, the virtual machines created on my laptop can access the wireguard subnet, but public vps cannot access the virtual machines? (the guide said that it would be the opposite without the iptables nat/masquerade rules) I am guessing because I am doing this somewhat backwards, where the device exposing the lan is behind nat, whereas it is the other way around in the guides that I have seen.
The folks replying here have pretty much hit the nail on the head. Adding your home network to that AllowedIPs line in the confit file should do the trick.
Someone else mentioned Tailscale, which would be another great option—with a web UI to dial in routes.
