WireGuard unable to access devices via hostname

[dilby]

I managed to get Wiregard working so that I could remotly access my home network. I can access all devices by IP address.. for example http://192.168.0.6:80 works when connected, but http://myserver.local:80 doesn't work.

VPN-WireGuard->Local
DNS Server : 192.168.0.1
Tunnell Address : 10.252:0.0/24

VPN->WireGuard->Endpoints
Allowed IPs : 10.252.0.3/32

Firewall->Rules->Wireguard
Protocol : IPv4
Direction : In
Source : WireGuard net
Source Port, Dest, Dest Port, Schedule : *

Firewall->Rules->WAN
Protocol : UDP
Destination : WAN Address
Port : 51820

Client configuraion with relevenent IP 10.252.0.3 and DNS as 192.168.0.1.

Thanks

Hi,
did you create a rule so that traffic to Port 53 is allowed from the VPN?
192.168.0.1 is this the IP of your DNS server?

Thanks for the reply. Does the below not do that ?

Firewall->Rules->Wireguard
Protocol : IPv4
Direction : In
Source : WireGuard net
Source Port, Dest, Dest Port, Schedule : *

I did see your suggestion in one of the tutorials, but wasn's sure where to add it and also assumed the above rule passed through all thje ports ?

You are correct that should work.
Is your DNS Server the firewall or another DNS Server in your network?
If you do a nslookup and set it to query 192.168.0.1 and the query for google.com do you get a reply?
If you get one, are you sure that your DNS Server can resolve your internal DNS zone?
If not it might be a good apprroach to start here in troubleshooting.
If http://myserver.local works internally without a DNS server it is likely you use broadcast to identify the proper servre and I am not sure if that is doable through VPN.
