Wireguard setup with MikroTik and your smartphone

All MikroTik routers come with support for all kinds of VPN and now, Wireguard is also available. Why use a cloud service and pay for a subscription, if you can host your own VPN server with the Wireguard functionality in RouterOS. Follow this video and use the accompanying documentation guide:

Is there any way to combine this with tethering? I mean I have working Wireguard connection on my Android Device, but when I start tethering to other devices it works through base connection. I want to Tether VPN as well. Tethering app is not excluded in the app.

I noticed you left the allowed IPs optional in iphone setup. But if I do so, the wireguard connection doesn't work. I have to put 0.0.0.0/0 on the allowed ips on iphone side. Anything I am missing ?

l2tp has this, but it doesnt work together with ipsec.

But wireguard is not passing any traffic when it is showing peer packets in tx and rx section but on the wireguard interface there is nothing in EVENG Lab ?

Hi how about Site to site vpn? and both mikrotik routers are behind NAT device and our region we can't forward ports. Any solution?

I wonder what to do, if public wifi is blocking "WG" like blocking UDP or something like that. Even using open ports did not made my device to handshake :/ Mostly airport wifi´s.

What are the steps for setting up multiple peers I.E for laptop and cellphone access with wireguard on the MikroTik router?

[gussaldivar]

Great walkthrough!!! Unfortunately, Wireguard connections are not shown in the router log. I understand that it is a "stateless" protocol. However, there must be some form of logging user access. Please consider adding a video to show how to add this feature! Keep up the good work Mikrotik!!!

Am I missing something, I totally don't see the wireguard option on my router. I updated the router to latest model and I don't see wireguard at all
