       Wireguard stopped working on my VPS for some reason. I can't ssh into it to see what's up because I only exposed ssh on the wireguard interface. Consequently, I also learned that my VPS provider doesn't offer remote console either.So now I have a VPS that does nothing but responds to pings.I'm sad.

       @Jain @rfgee Rescue ISO? (At least it's what I have on a remote-console-less dedi)

       @Jain Via plain old ssh of course. I ssh in, setup wireguard, then setup nftables to only allow ssh from the wireguard interface because muh hardening. I assumed all of these things are stable enough so I wouldn't need an escape hatch. Evidently I was wrong...

       @lanodan Thanks for the hint! There is a "Rescue Mode" button but it didn't seem to do anything when I tried it - the VPS restarted but I couldn't ssh into it using the provided rescue password either.The VPS's only job is routing traffic to my local server anyway, so I think I'll just switch to another provider that does have remote console. Having to rewrite nftables rules is a bit of a chore, but to look on the bright side it's a relatively low price to pay to learn that my current provider kinda sucks.

       @lanodan @Jain My site is now up on another host: https://thac.loan/I also tried reinstalling the previous provider's VM, and I think their recently-deployed "anti ddos firewall" is blocking wireguard somehow. The same wg setup works on my new provider but not this one.
