This is an Awesome setup guide, I've been looking at guides for a week and was super confused about how it all worked, this makes it simple and I actually understand how it works now!

[softwelveone]

worked like a charm!! no lost connections or anything!! I also did a *leaktest* to see if it would leak my dns settings or IP address.... the first test leaked my DNS settings (I have a private DNS provider) I don't have cloudflare but it said I did... so I did additional test (turn off my phone, then turn it back on) and it worked great with *zero leaks!*

Thanks bro I have same router. I tried just in seconds and worked very well. I'll do the same on the other country.

Thanks to your videos, i have purchased a Asus RT-AX3000 router and so far i am super happy with it. Thank you all the videos you have published on this. I do have one question if you dont mind. Which would you recommend, WireGuard or OpenVPN?

[randomgoogler]

Very clean and to the point. Thank you so much.

Great. How to access local folders on computers in the VPN. After connection I see only "Filedrop" folder but not the shared folders?

[SteveH-TN]

Thanks for sharing this video and your thoughts & experience 😮😅

Do I turn the vpn via vpn settings on iPhone, via wire guard app, via router ???? Do I have to turn them all on?

[alicetiner]

I don't understand the client part. I set up Proton VPN on my Keenetic Router. Now the entire internet connection in my home is under Proton VPN (phone, PC, TV, console etc.). Why do I need to set up additional clients and install additional apps to PC and Android to access the internet in the way that you explain here? Is there an additional benefit of doing so?

[chriswong]

Thank you for your clear tutorial! Just wondering how fast is the WireGuard VPN when access it remotely?

[n.-hgtq]

it's very strange, I followed your guide step by step, everything seems alright but when I check my IP, it's still the same than my public IP, and I can't access to my asus if I'm connected to wireguard. Any idea ? thank you

[nasserothman]

Hi, i followed all your instructions but for some reason, I dont get any internet connection on my phone. I downloaded the wireguard app on my google pixel. I set up the configuration on the asus router. On the Asus UI, when I hover my mouse over the key icon in the list of vpn clients, it shows it is disconnected. However on the wireguard app, i toggled to connect to it. What am I doing wrong?

[almuhairi_ue]

Thank you for the explanation. It was useful, but I have a question about activating it. I wanted a European server, for example, so can I do this?

[rootcanal]

Have you ever played around with portable routers, such as the GL iNet routers? I hope that you could do a review on them. I know that you can put OVPN files from Nord VPN and a few other VPN services on them

[jacquesstephan]

Hello, the step by step is clear but as soon as I launch the Wireguard connection on either my mobile phone or my computer, the internet connection is severed . Therefore something must be different in my configuration such as the Ip addresses of the different items connected to my rooter that is an Asus AX6000.

Thanks alot for this video and I was able to follow it easily. However, my requirement is little different. I cant install anything in my company laptop (its not allowed & locked) but i want to change my location. I tried using Asus router VPN option using the ExpressVPNs open VPN server but the speed is very slow. Hence, I am here trying to see if wireguard can increase my speed. I think in my scenario, I need to have 2 router configured, One working as VPN server and other one (router 2) connecting to that server which lets me mask my location by only connecting to wifi from router 2. Is there an easy way to do this?

[clementyun]

Thank you for the setup guide. What should I do if I restart my router? Do I need to update the client as I have an dynamic IP?

[PCPAyLOAD]

What if I want to do this with a VPN service I already pay monthly for? I use Wndscribe. How would the setup differ if I want to do this with my Windscribe desktop app?

[ryderbg]

Great video. I followed your instructions and set up three AX58U routers. However, I need to create a site-to-site VPN so that each router can use its own ISP. Additionally, one of the routers has an external USB HDD connected to it, and I would like to be able to access that drive from the clients connected to the other routers. Do you have any settings for setting up a site-to-site VPN on these routers?

[ljubovalevski]

Hello! I'm trying to set a Wireguard vpn but had stuck. I'm using TP-link router as a server but I think there is no difference. So I made all the steps - installing Wireguard clilents on 2 machines running Windows 10. I can ping both computers on their VPN's IP addresses 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3 but when I try to explore shared folders witn Windows explorer I can see only a "FileDrop" folder but not windows shared folders. What do I miss? Can you help me? Thank you!
