I want to set up a Wireguard Server on my Flint 2. I have questions: what steps should I take to stay as secure as possible? I am assuming I should turn off the VPN when I know I am not going to use it for some time. I assume nothing is open to the public internet while it is turned off? How secure is it while it is turned on? Are there additional steps to increase security? The Flint 2 would be the main (and only) router in the network.

1. I have not been able to setup the client. When I scan qr and add the file then start the imported profile the phone loses internet access.
2. How does one launch a plugin after downloading it from the plugin repository? Is there a webui to access it?

I have a VPN tunnel set up on a client device (cell phone). After connecting to the VPN (wireguard), I can't access the Internet and I can't connect to my home network on the phone either.

Is it possible to use VLESS onto GL.Inet routers? How it can be setup for it?

[saglara]

I did this on a Mango MT300N-V2 and it doesn't work! It worked for several days and then it stopped. The Wireguard server is running according to the admin UI of the Mango, but no clients connected. I can upload the conf file in the Wireguard app on some remote device, no errors, but no connection either!

Hello, I use SIM Card in a GL X3000 Spitz AX router. My IP in the router menu is different from the IP on the WhatsmyIP Website. I wanted to use the SIM Connection on GL X3000 for a VPN setup (connection via other GL.INet Router). But it does not work when I test it directly or via Wireguard app. Please help with the answer or solution. Thanks in advance

My two ip addresses don’t match after receiving a new modem from cox. WireGuard use to work but not anymore. Does that mean I have a private ip address now?

[ytduckbill]

I'm living in China and "VPN" doesn't appear in my Admin Panel. My router is the AXT1800. Could you tell me why this is?

I have tried to connect my home router (Flint2) to my travel router (Beryl ax) for two months unsuccessfully. I've watched countless videos. Even spoke with gl inet that told me it was good. Nope, nothing working on my end. Save your money and your time.
