Create Surfshark WireGuard configuration files on OpenWRT

Leo · 2022-07-14T02:44:42.726Z

Hey guys,
I am working on integrating the Surfshark WireGuard to GL.iNet app. There still have issue as @anes said, have to verify the old keys every 7 days, otherwise the connection will be invalid. The verify process is to connect router, open app, then go to the Surfshark page, that is it.
If so, would you still want to add Surfshark to the app?

That would be great especially if you can add a cron job that automatically does all the verification and if it fails you start the verification manually

Good idea, but this would have to go on the firmware side and it would take longer to get all models to have this feature.

Break in two stages first bring the the integration that you planed and then complete with the cron job. Thanks for all the effort

Surfshark’s WireGuard key is valid for 7 days, if the key is invalid, the WireGuard configuration is invaid too, so you need to update it from time to time. You can see the expiration date of the key in the Surfshark Account page of the app. When the expiration date of the key is less than 5 days, it will be updated automatically when you go to the Surfshark page. When the expiration date of the key is less than 24 hours, a notification will be sent to remind you, and you can turn off this notification in the Account page.

After 7 days expired, we need to log in again in order to renewal, right?

alannts425 · 2022-07-28T02:00:55.419Z

Or before 5 days expired, we go to account page of surfshark from the app then its will auto renewal?

Yes. But it will sends you a notification on day 6, and clicking on that notification will renewal it.

Yes. The auto renewal job is doing at the Surfshark page. See image below.

Alright noted with thanks

So far am notice that the switching location is unable take effect, which mean you need to off the vpn then on back for the location you want.

Leo · 2022-08-02T02:16:12.889Z

There does seem to be a bug, thanks for the feedback. I’ll fix it as soon as possible.

Thank You!

@leo how do I login surfshark with 2fa enabled?

Thanks

Leo · 2022-08-17T06:24:36.980Z

I tried it, and there was a problem with turning on 2FA, so I’ll see if I can fix it.

Btw, please improve the app for surfshark. Thanks for your efforts and dedicated hardwork.

Switching locations still not take effect during the vpn on?
