Can't get MT2500 (Brune 2) VPN server working (ddns: PID '20882' exit WITH ERROR '1')

Hi All,

Im having issues getting my MT2500 working as a Wireguard VPN.

My set up is

MT2500 >> Virgin Router << Internet

WAN Port connected to Virgin Router ethernet,
LAN port connected to my macbook to set up the GL iNet settings.

Ive enabled DDNS on applications
Ive set up wireguard to allow remote network access and configuration file to include DDNS

When I try connecting to the VPN using wireguard config , it connects fine but theres no internet and i can't access the GL Inet interface.

Ive checked the log on MT2500 and its saying

ddns: PID '20882' exit WITH ERROR '1'

When I ping the given DDNS host i get ( uy****.glddns.com: Unknown host)

So im feeling like it could be DDNS server issue?

Any ideas?

Note i followed the above for my office network and it worked straight away, but trying to do the same but with a new device through my virgin router is giving me the above issue.

Could it be the MT2500 ive got it faulty or could it be Virgin router giving issues?

Thanks in advance.
Tom

Is your DDNS check successful?

No it wasn't...not sure where I go from there as it seems I can't amend the host name or try a different DDNS provider?

Heres the log

Could it be that you only have an IPv6 contract?


This is the message, however the reported IP is the correct outside facing IP

Dont think so ( see screeenshot of modem)

The modem screenshot does not tell anything.

What ISP?

Does it not show that it is IPv4?

Virgin Media (UK)

If i ethernet direct from laptop into Virgin router this is what ifconfig showing. Does this help? (inet6 & inet)

Hi,

May I know does the Virgin router get the public IPv4 from ISP?

Yes it does, The router is also the modem.

Hi,

  1. Have you downgrade or upgrade the firmware for the Brune2?

  2. Please execute the command in the Brune2 SSH and post the return here, please blur the personal info:
