Can't get Wireguard server to work (AX88U)

[ptthstr]

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure the Wireguard server on my AX88U and just can't get it to work.
I'm using the default settings for both server and client sides (see screenshots). When I activate the tunnel on my phone, I don't have access to anything, WAN or LAN. I can't ping anything either.

I've tried following advice on various posts here and on Reddit, like setting a VPN Director rule or a firewall rule (even disabling it completely). No change from these.

Worth noting:

• I am not using DDNS
• I don't have any other VPN clients/servers setup
• There is no ISP router in front of the AX88U, it connects to the Internet directly. However it does so over a VLAN (not sure if that changes anything).
• I use OpenDNS, but reverting to my ISP's DNS doesn't change anything.

I've spent hours trying to fix this, so I'm a bit confused about what else I could do. I used to have a pfSense router and Wireguard worked perfectly on it, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Vpn director is only used for clients, not server. If you only run a server on your router, this rule is not needed and should be removed.

Can you see any tx/rx byte count in your app?
My guess are that your tunnel is not up. Some windows clients are tricky, try to ping router wg peer: 10.6.0.1 instead, does that work?

If not your tunnel is proberly not up.

it connects to the Internet directly. However it does so over a VLAN (not sure if that changes anything).

Perhaps.

Did you ever solve this. Same problem here.

Thansk for the advice.

Unfortunately not. I ended up installing wg-easy on a Raspberry Pi and that worked flawlessly in a few minutes.
