Your response made me smile, Thank You!With wg_manager, you dont have to understand it. It was made so you could keep your muscles relaxed and give in to the easy-life, were no internal blockage exists.

Only ASUS can answer that, or maybe RMerlin if when he adapts the ASUS GUI.Very excited to hear that WireGuard functionality is coming through the user interface! Will that (GUI) functionality also be available for the RT-AC86U, or only for RT-AX86U?
WireGuard Manager does (on RMerlin firmware) support the RT-AC86U, and most of the RT-AX5/8/n series etc.This post makes me think it’s likely, but I’m not sure. Hope the question isn’t too noobish. Reason for asking is that I’m looking to extend my current RT-AC86u with an AiMesh node, and it might be the right time to upgrade - if the RT-AC86u will not support WireGuard with these updates.
I'm sure it isn't...I know it’s possible through other means than the GUI, given other posts on this forum, but that’s beyond my skill level I’m afraid

i.e. If you can type these commands
then you should be up and running with WireGuard.Bash:amtm i wg 1 import your_VPN_ISP_WireGuard_client_profile start wg11
Don't sell your self short my friend. Even without the wireguard session manager, to get a wireguard server up is not at all that complicated.
Suppose you have two OpenVPN clients and the VPN Director rules look likeI use the VPN Director/Policy functionality to selectively route some machines through client 1 (kill-switch), others through client 2 (non kill-switched), and some without any tunneling at all. So setting up WireGuard and figuring out how to do Policy Routing on the command-line seemed a little too much.

and wg12
, you can use the wireguard_manager
command vpndirector clone
e = Exit Script [?]

Unclear about this, but, should the AC5300 be on the list of routers that will get Wireguard?
uname -r
and see what you get. which wg
and see if the user space tool is installed. If it is, you are good.Ugh, uname -r shows: 2.6.36.4brcmarm I thought the 5300 was newer, lol. Which wg shows, nada.As long as the router has a newer kernel, say Version 4 and above, the odds are good. From a SSH shell, rununame -r
and see what you get.
You can also, again from a SSH window, executewhich wg
and see if the user space tool is installed. If it is, you are good.
You know these monkeys will hold you to thatit's definitely less than 8 months.
All I said was based on Asus' own timetable for their own release, it won`t be in 8 months.You know these monkeys will hold you to that
or cjdns-wireguard-hyperboria meshnets?Is the built-in implementation of Wireguard going to include a server so that router-to-router tunnels over the internet can be setup?
Right - usually you would set up a WireGuard 'server' Peer on your router as you have identified a requirement to safely/securely access your home LAN from another location via the WireGuard VPN-tunnel.When you talk about "Wireguard Server" stuff here that's for hosting your own VPN-tunnel right?
Correct - although it doesn't have to be a commercial WireGuard VPN provider it could be a family member's home LAN.Whereas setting up the router as a Wireguard Client is more for connecting it to an external VPN service like for example "Mullvad".
Have I understood this correctly?
