[kwlug-disc] Remote access to machine behind CG-NAT

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

I ended up using Wireguard for a VPN.

It works really well, even on a lowly 1 vCPU VPS acting as the gateway.

The issue was that the vast majority of tutorials are about hiding
your IP address for privacy, or to access US based services.
In my case, I just want to connect a handful of machines together
without setting up NAT or port forwarding or any of these gymnastics.

Wireguard is a peer protocol, and all the nodes can access each other
seamlessly.

One task remaining is setting up a small DNS server instead of dealing
with raw 10.0.0.3 being the home server, and 10.0.0.2 being my laptop.
Adding the machines to /etc/hosts is tedious because it has to be done
on each machine, and this will not work for Android devices.

I feel like using the BIND server is overkill for this.

Any suggestions of a small easy to manage DNS server?
