 # Wireguard
 
-This is a simple docker image to run a Wireguard client. It includes a kill switch to ensure that any traffic not encrypted via Wireguard is dropped.
+This is a simple Docker image to run a Wireguard client. It includes a kill switch to ensure that any traffic not encrypted via Wireguard is dropped.
 
 Wireguard is implemented as a kernel module, which is key to its performance and simplicity. However, this means that Wireguard _must_ be installed on the host operating system for this container to work properly. Instructions for installing Wireguard can be found [here](http://wireguard.com/install).
 
-You will need a configuration file for your Wireguard interface. Many VPN providers will create this configuration file for you. For example, [here](http://mullvad.net/en/download/wireguard-config) is the configuration generator for Mullvad. Be sure to NOT include a kill switch in the configuration file, since the docker image already has one.

 Now simply mount the configuration file and run! For example, if your configuration file is located at `/path/to/conf/mullvad.conf`:

-Wireguard is new technology and its behavior may change in the future. For this reason, it's recommended to specify an image tag when running this container, such as `jordanpotter/wireguard:2.0.1`. The available tags are listed [here](https://hub.docker.com/r/jordanpotter/wireguard/tags).
+## Local Network
+
+If you wish to allow traffic to your local network, specify the subnet using the `LOCAL_NETWORK` environment variable:
+
+```bash
+docker run --name wireguard                                          \
+    --cap-add NET_ADMIN                                              \
+    --cap-add SYS_MODULE                                             \
+    --sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1                      \
+    -v /path/to/conf/mullvad.conf:/etc/wireguard/mullvad.conf        \
+    -e LOCAL_NETWORK=10.0.0.0/8                                      \
+    jordanpotter/wireguard
+```
+
+Additionally, you can expose ports to allow your local network to access services linked to the Wireguard container:
+
+```bash
+docker run --name wireguard                                          \
+    --cap-add NET_ADMIN                                              \
+    --cap-add SYS_MODULE                                             \
+    --sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1                      \
+    -v /path/to/conf/mullvad.conf:/etc/wireguard/mullvad.conf        \
+    -p 8080:80                                                       \
+    jordanpotter/wireguard
+```
+
+```bash
+docker run -it --rm                                                  \
+    --net=container:wireguard                                        \
+    nginx
+```
