I am using the Beryl (GL-MT1300) router to run a Wire guard Client. I am using Mullvad and Windscribe as VPN servers. My issue is that I am getting between 1 and 10 disconnections per hour. The wireguard connection drops and it takes 1-2 minutes to automatically reconnect.
I have found that if I am in a voip call or have a music stream running, the disconnections do not happen, so there is some kind of disconnect on idle happening. I will get plenty of random disconnects while web browsing. I need a solid connection for work so have been running music streams in the background to keep my connection active, but I want a better, more automatic solution.
Is there something I can do to either troubleshoot the disconnects themselves or make sure there’s a keep alive ping happening from the router? I can see in the VPN setting profile that keepalive is set to 25, but I not know if that is actually happening because it does not seem to be preventing the connection from dropping. I even tried changing it to one second and the connection still drops.
Thanks!
I have added that cron job and will see if it works. I’m not seeing anything specific in the logs when the connection drops, just a reconnect. Are there any ways to get more detailed logging on what shut down a wireguard vpn tunnel?
