      Network Setup.png

      This is my network setup. I know it is really messy in the professional eyes but this is what I can do now with zero background knowledge on computer science and networking. Since I'm renting the place, I don't have access to the router A physically nor the web UI for it. I use a openwrt bridge to conect my pfsense to the router A with wifi.

      My goal is to project all my servers behind the pfsense LAN subnet to the public so I can access them from others i.e. my phone's data.

      I followed this https://youtu.be/SMF301vQqJo to setup a VPS wireguard server. I tried with my phone by using both wifi from router A and data, no problem.

      After all that, I tried to set up wireguard on my pfsense with almost every method that I can find online. I notice that it will handshake but the wireguard Tx and Rx will caps at 128k/s. The traffic will not go through the wireguard tunnel.

      I tried few things to narrow down the problem but nothing works. The PC behind pfsense will not work with wireguard windows client but if I connect my phone to the openwrt wifi router it will tunnel through wireguard successfully.

      So here are my questions.

      1. Is my goal to project all my servers to the public possible ? since feels like I triple the natting.
      2. Why is the pfsense handshake but the wireguard Tx and Rx caps at 128k/s ?
      3. What can I do to fix all this ?

      I'm at the end of the rope here. Any input would be much appreciated.
