TLDR: your QUIC issue may not be related to routing. But it’s not worth debugging, ignore. This approach works and preserves source IPs for log analissys later: > **[Hosting services behind a restrictive firewall/CGNAT using DNAT on a VPS...](https://blog.arrogantrabbit.com/vpn/net/Wireguard-DNAT-and-IPTABLES/)** > > This is a short description of how to host services, using STORJ node as an example, on a host behind CG-NAT, or otherwise restrictive firewall, by forwarding packets through WireGuard endpoint on a relatively fast nearby VPS.

It was rather bizarre, and I don’t know why that happened.
