Hello Max,

thanks for your reply.

Well, locally, I do use this machine as Host for many tunnels.

I used traceroute on the commandline for this:

>If not, you may wish to check whether the port on the machine is reachable, e.g. by running `nc -v -l -u -p 12345` on your server and then executing `echo test | nc -u [server's IP] 12345`, to check whether the message arrives at the server.

I am using the machine that is here, locally as server for many tunnels. 
So, the wireguard port is reachable.
On the remote machine, I have NOT done any port forwarding. Is that 
neccessary at all? I thought that only the machine that is NOT 
initiating the connection needs a port forwarding.

Hendrik
