Different VPN per site? Flint AX & WireGuard

GrannySmasher · November 9, 2023, 11:37pm

Hi, I have a Flint AX and wanted to know if I can use one wireguard VPN profile by default but another wireguard VPN profile for specific sites?

Such as all web traffic goes through Sweden but only Facebook goes through Germany?

Thanks.

This is probably not possible per site with custom routing from the GL Ui vpn policies.

However there is also a luci app which kinda replaces policies which should be possible to work with.

This app is called luci-app-pbr but in order to have it work more properly you need to set the global policies in the GL Ui to custom routing.

But theres also a other catch, you may also need luci-proto-wireguard but this might break the wgclient, why? because you need two instances of vpn and i don’t think its possible in GL’s version since it is unmanaged (could be wrong) but it looks different than vanilla OpenWrts wireguard opkg, in the worst scenario you need to rebuild wgclient in luci, a better scenario is only setting up your second instance so that both vpn interfaces can co-exist hence the software differences between vanillas version and GL’s version.

Then you also need to make sure all routing is disabled aswell from the new vpn interface, as from the default gateway checkbox in the advanced tab when you are in the interface edit, this is on all interfaces required except lan.

In pbr the priority is from top to down, so: your domain rule should always be on top of the rule that routes through the default vpn, Heres a example:

name: route site to vpn2
local ip: 192.168.8.0/24
remote ip: mysite.mydomain
chain: prerouting
interface: wgclient2

And

name: route all vpn
local ip: 192.168.8.0/24
remote ip:
chain: prerouting
interface: wgclient

I can see this is alot advanced so please let me know if you need help

Yeah that sounds way too complex for me, I will just stick with normal functionality. Your reply is much appreciated though.

I can attest stangri’s PBR for LuCI is a rather impressive piece of software.

Yeah, @xize11 is right on point; it’s not going to be an easy time using GL firmware. luci-app-pbr will certainly conflict & for best results it’s best to have full nft tables for the firewall vs iptables… nft is now the default as of OpenWrt 23.05 but the Flint is still using 21.02 in firmware 4.4.6-release1. You’d also need dnsmasq-full (v2.39+) & not just stock/regular dnsmasq.

If you can afford the hit to the wallet, I’d pick up another Flint or a Slate AX & flash it with @solidus1983 's ‘pure’ OpenWrt firmware build for it. While there might be a hit to the device’s overall performance as it doesn’t have GL’s optimizations via the proprietary SDK, you’ll have full access to all things OpenWrt. You could then put this pure OpenWrt behind/downstream of your GL Flint to handle whatever device clients you want to use PBR.

Of course you can always just pick up a compatible OpenWrt router on the used market for experimentation… but it can be done & close to a case of ‘easier done than said.’

i would be very thankful if u could help me to setup PBR on GL-Inet firmware, i’m kinda noob to play with firewall and rules, i’ve used solidus’ openwrt but the having problem with crashing here and there, maybe i’ll try i again when it finally be officially approved and merged into openwrt git

xize11 · May 2, 2024, 12:49pm

sure thing!.

do you know by chance how to export config files and show me a topology?

note with the gl version it is not possible yet to use multiple wireguard client interfaces or servers since it is structered different inside the uci system (the openwrt configuration system).

4rtz1z · May 2, 2024, 1:02pm

the tar.gz backup files ? i know all the basic stuff, i just noob on firewall and rules thing

topology of my network ?

xize11 · May 2, 2024, 1:05pm

yea you can post the contents of /etc/config/network and /etc/config/firewall just make sure you strip off the data you don’t want to share like vpn secret keys or mac addresses, these files can also be accessed if you open the backup tar file with something like 7zip.

with topology I mean a drawing what you want to accomplish you can do this via draw.io or a other site this gives me a idea.

aaa okay, lemme flash back into glinet first,
well basically i just wanna route :

some ip/dns (e.g twitter and telegram) thru wireguard

ah I see, this can be accomplished but in order to do that inside the gl ui you have to set the routing policies for the gl-inet to manual like in this screenshot:

then in luci even though the wireguard protocol is different than normal openwrt you have to edit the interface via luci → network → interfaces → wgclient and click there on the tab advanced you should de-select Use Default Gateway my screenshot may be different since I use standalone OpenWrt.

this is recommended on all interfaces except wan and wwan if that is your wan connection and lan since that is a special interface, you want only one default gateway and not wireguard being the default gateway, let PBR handle this

now if you go to the luci-app-pbr web page you click on the tab advanced configuration and write down wgclient into the supported interfaces field, you can also add device names like so if you wish a smooth experience if you have alot of other interfaces not depending on pbr I recommend this because you may get a really long boot:

there is also one another tweak which makes reloading pbr a tiny bit faster and more stable under more interfaces which is the option in /etc/config/pbr:

config pbr 'config'
    option nft_file_mode '1'
    //there are more options here.

now if you look to my own configuration:

I use hierachy here, this is important to understand because if you want to bypass one thing it always has to be on top of the rule for the vpn.

The ignore rules let you bypass the killswitch feature this is especially necessary if you want to keep acccess to your local devices when you are using the vpn route.

this ignore rule can be enabled by going to Web UI Configuration tab.

do u still need the cat of the config ? or do i just continue try as you described ?

xize11 · May 2, 2024, 1:39pm

you can try to follow my message if you got questions please ask

4rtz1z · May 2, 2024, 1:49pm

i’ve set the “Customize Routing Rules”, but when i go to Luci i can’t edit the wgclient, what should i do ? install luci-proto-wireguard first ?

or just add defaultroute=‘0’ manually ? and restart network service ?

xize11 · May 2, 2024, 1:51pm

yes you can try using defaultroute=0 though it might be removed recently because it did not had a function just try add it to be extra sure

4rtz1z · May 2, 2024, 1:53pm

and what way did u like me to do ? i’m just gonna follow u straight so u could easily help me LOL

xize11 · May 2, 2024, 1:54pm

you can uncheck this checkbox on each interface except lan, wan, wwan or a other wan type of interface, I forgot to mentoin in my previous post that lan is also considered a special interface.
