I'm new to Omada system and this took me literally 15 minutes to set up, have running, and connect to from an outside network. Great video, thanks!

[SamNesbittdoesstuff]

DUDE! Thank you so much for this. I've been using the L2TP VPN config and found it unreliable, and I've always had concerns about the security of it. I was away for a couple of days with an hour to kill, so I thought I'd set up Wireguard. Your tutorial helped me do it super quickly, and I'm immediately impressed with how much quicker and easier using Wireguard over a traditional VPN is.

Thanks again!

Scary "Systems Admin" Costume though ... Well done!

Wow, this is the only tutorial out of 12 that I've watched that actually works, and explains things very well.

Thanks so much!

I was having such a hard trime trying to make it work. This video was the help I was looking for. Thanks a lot!!

[rudigerschernthaner]

Thanks a lot for the really nice tutorial! I tried several others and only with this one I succeeded!

Hii, should I upgrade my ER605 to ER7206 just for DPI and IDS/IPS. Do you think ER605 would support DPI in future?

[siddharthr]

My ISP does not have a static IP. I need to use some VPS IP. Is it possible to install wireguard in the VPS and then use that info to connect the router and the remote machine to access the local devices of the routers ?

[christophermckissick]

How do i create an ACL to limit the wireguard cobnection to only allow access to a certain device? My wireguard connection only needs to be able to connect to two computers but nit the whole network?

[PradeepKGoyal]

love the video, i was able to follow it and connect and make my tunnel word i have a er605, thanks soo much

[asiannvasion]

Thanks, this exactly what i was looking for. Do you have any download/upload speed metrics for Wireguard on the ER605? I read a lot of complaints about the VPN being really slow and the hardware is not suitable. Should I even bother with this or just buy a new VPN router?

Very nice. Really love TP-Link products, they are amazing for home lab stuff and even for small to medium businesses. Currently debating if I should replace my custom OPNSense router with a ER7212PC but not really sure. I am still very invested in TP-Link but I probably will keep OPNSense and just add an OC-300 to my network to manage all the OMADA stuff I own.

[eurybaric]

Thanks mate you helped me out big time!

[wizajit]

I have a small query. Once we connect to the home VPN server we setup; does the internet usage(browsing etc) gets routed though the tunnel we created. In above case; the internet remains secure routing through your home router; rather than the mobile 4G LTE network? Am I right in my understanding? Thanks for your time :)

hi
i have this situation, where i am currently living abroad and i want to connect back home. So i just bought 2X TP-Link ER605 and want to make one as a server at home, and the other as a end point here, so everything i connect to this one, would be like they were connected directly back home. Is that easy to configure, can you help?

[harleymark]

If my router sits behind a cgnat isp provider, is there anything that I could do to make it work that wouldn't involve a 3rd party pay wall ?

[markb]

i have a 5g router I take out so i don't have to use hotel etc free wifi
it's got a VPN client in ( sadly not wireguard) and I run PiHole on my LAN at the office Omada ER605 router etc )
All traffic goes throught that so I have the ad protection etc

would you think that could make an interesting little video for you to make for your viewers?

[redsoldier]

There's something in my config that causes the entire vpn router to crash anytime I try to connect lol. It maybe something to do with the allowed ip addresses (from other google searches) but still can't pin point it. My vpn router is far away and I'm having to need family members to constantly restart it so will avoid this setup until I'm home and can be in front of it. Pretty crappy design to just cause the entire thing to crash instead of having basics checks/validation.

[GerbrandvanNoort]

My VPN (Wireguard and OpenVPN) works fine, but what about mapping the network shares in Explorer with the name of the server and not the IP adres? With IP adres mapped its working, but with the server name it doesn't recognized my server. Do you or anyone else have a solution?

[anandsaravanan]

Hi, i tried this Setup. Wireguard connects and i can use the internet, but i couldn't connect to my other servers. Im a noob in this omada scene.
