 Common Issues
----------------
+--------------
+- **How can I connect my Android, IOS, MacOS or Windows device to my Netmaker VPN?**
+* **A:** Currently meshing one of these devices is not supported, however it will be soon. 
+  For now you can connect to your VPN by making one of the nodes an Ingressgateway, then 
+  create an Ext Client for each device. Finally, use the official WG app or another 
+  WG configuration app to connect via QR or downloading the device's WireGuard configuration. 
+
+- **I've made changes to my nodes but the nodes themselves haven't updated yet, why?**
+* **A:** Please allow your nodes to complete a check in or two, in order to reconfigure themselves.
+  In some cases, it could take up to a minute or so.
+
+- **Do I have to use access keys to join a network?**
+* **A:**  Although keys are the preferred way to join a network, Netmaker does allow for manual node sign-ups.
+  Simply turn on "allow manual signups" on your network and nodes will not connect until you manually aprove each one.
+
+- **Is there a community or forum to ask questions about Netmaker?**
+* **A:** Yes, we have an active `discord <https://discord.gg/Pt4T9y9XK8>`_ community and issues on our `github <https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker/issues>`_ are answered frequently!
+  You can also sign-up for updates at our `gravitl site <https://gravitl.com/>`_!
 
 Server
 -------
+- **Can I secure/encrypt all the traffic to my server and UI?**
+* **A:** This can fairly simple to achieve assuming you have access to a domain and are familiar with Nginx.
+  Please refer to the quick-start guide to see!
+
+- **Can I connect multiple nodes (mesh clients) behind a single firewall/router?**
+* **A:** Yes! As of version 0.7 Netmaker supports UDP Hole Punching to allow this, without the use of a third party STUN server!
+  Is UDP hole punching a risk for you? Well you can turn it off and make static nodes/ports for the server to refer to as well.
+
+- **What are the minimum specs to run the server?**
+* **A:** We recommend at least 1 CPU and 2 GB Memory.
+
+- **Does this support IPv6 addressing?**
+* **A:** Yes, Netmaker supports IPv6 addressing. When you create a network, just make sure to turn on Dual Stack.
+  Nodes will be given IPv6 addresses along with their IPv4 address. It does not currently support IPv6 only.
+
+- **Does Netmaker support Raft Consensus?**
+* **A:** Netmaker does not directly support it, but it uses `rqlite <https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite>`_ (which supports Raft) as the database.
+
+- **How do I uninstall Netmaker?**
+* **A:** There is no official uninstall script for the Netmaker server at this time. If you followed the quick-start guide, simply run ``sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.quickstart.yml down --volumes``
+  to completely wipe your server. Otherwise kill the running binary and it's up to you to remove database records/volumes.
 
 UI
 ----
+- **I want to make a seperate network and give my friend access to only that network.**
+* **A:** Simply navigate to the UI (as an admin account). Select users in the top left and create them an account.
+  Select the network(s) to give them and they should be good to go! They are an admin of that network(s) only now.
+
+- **I'm done with an access key, can I delete it?**
+* **A:** Simply navigate to the UI (as an admin account). Select your network of interest, then the select the ``Access Keys`` tab.
+  Then delete the rogue access key.
+
+- **I can't delete my network, why?**
+* **A:** You **MUST** remove all nodes in a network before you can delete it.
+
+- **Can I have multiple nodes with the same name?**
+* **A:** Yes, nodes can share names without issue. It may just be harder on you to know which is which.
 
 Agent
 -------
+- **How do I connect a node to my Netmaker network with Netclient?**
+* **A:** First get your access token (not just access key), then run ``sudo netclient join -t <access token>``.
+  **NOTE:** netclient may be under /etc/netclient/, i.e run ``sudo /etc/netclient/netclient join -t <access token>``
+
+- **How do I disconnect a node on a Netmaker network?**
+* **A:** In order to leave a Netmaker network, run ``sudo netclient leave -n <network-name>``
+
+- **How do I check the logs of my agent on a node?**
+* **A:** You will need sudo/root permissions, but you can run ``sudo systemctl status netclient@<insert network name>``
+  or you may also run ``sudo journalctl -u netclient@<network name>``. 
+  Note for journalctl: you should hit the ``end`` key to get to view the most recent logs quickly or use ``journalctl -u netclient@<network name> -f`` instead.
+
+- **Can I check the configuration of my node on the node?**
+* **A:** Yes, on the node simply run ``sudo cat /etc/netclient/netconfig-<network name>`` and you should see what your current configuration is! 
+  You can also see the current WireGuard configuration with ``sudo wg show``
+
+- **I am done with the agent on my machine, can I uninstall it?**
+* **A:** Yes, on the node simply run ``sudo /etc/netclient/netclient uninstall``. 
+
 
 CoreDNS
 --------
+- **Is CoreDNS required to use Netmaker?**
+* **A:** CoreDNS is not required. Simply start your server with ``DNS_MODE="off"``.
 
+- **What is the minimum DNS entry value I can use?**
+* **A:** Netmaker supports down to two characters for DNS names for your networks domains**
