Samba over Wireguard guide or configuration
So hello there, I'm looking for a way to setup Samba shares over Wireguard correctly, but it seems I couldn't get it to work, literally spent an entire day messin the server and my PC getting the shares working but failed miserably, server is running Debian Bullseye, client is running Windows 10
Thanks in advance~!

If you can ping the other side of the link, then it should work. Things to try:
If your WG connection is fine, then this is probably just Samba fuckery instead of a combination of the two (that your title implies). If you can, just use NFS (Windows 10 has a client implementation) could save you a few hours.
Yea I can ping the other side of the link, used the address, allowed the firewall, it showed up a password prompt, typed it in and it returns incorrect password (I did used smbpasswd -a + -e to add and enable the user I'm loggin in to, and then I kept bashing the enter key and after some bashing it returns the folder you enetered does not appear to be valid. I'm kinda confused
Samba is already such a headache without a VPN!
Are file shares your only option?
