Configuring Simultaneous Access to Nebula Mesh Network with Mullvad VPN on Ubuntu 22.04
In this article, we will discuss how to configure a server to allow simultaneous access to a Nebula mesh network and Mullvad VPN on Ubuntu 22.04. This guide will cover the key concepts and steps required to set up and configure both services to work together seamlessly.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, it is assumed that you have the following:
- A server running Ubuntu 22.04.
- A Mullvad VPN account.
- Nebula installed and configured on the server.
Configuring Mullvad VPN
To configure Mullvad VPN, you will need to install the Mullvad VPN client and configure it to connect to the VPN. This can be done by following these steps:
- Install the Mullvad VPN client by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install mullvad-vpn- Once installed, you will need to authenticate the client with your Mullvad VPN account. To do this, run the following command and enter your account information when prompted:
mullvad-vpn account <ACCOUNT>- Once authenticated, you can connect to the VPN by running the following command:
sudo mullvad-vpn connectConfiguring Nebula
To configure Nebula to work with Mullvad VPN, you will need to make some changes to the Nebula configuration. This can be done by following these steps:
- Open the Nebula configuration file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nebula/lighthouse.yaml- In the configuration file, you will need to add the following lines to the "certificates" section:
mullvad-vpn-cert: <CERT>
mullvad-vpn-key: <KEY>- Next, you will need to add the following lines to the "peers" section:
- name: mullvad-vpn
cert: mullvad-vpn-cert
expose: [80, 443]
lighthouse: false
skip-cert-verification: true- Once the changes have been made, save and close the configuration file. Then, restart the Nebula service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart nebulaIn this article, we have discussed how to configure a server to allow simultaneous access to a Nebula mesh network and Mullvad VPN on Ubuntu 22.04. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you should now be able to connect to both services and access the resources on the Nebula mesh network through the Mullvad VPN.
