Disappointed that VPN client & server cannot be active together

Yes, the DDNS is being resolved to the right IP.

It should work. Can you change the ports in port forward settings?

e.g.
2222 to 22
8080 to 80
4433 to 443

Nothing, probably is something related with my router so.
If you don’t relate any problem.
I will try to disable the Wireguard and test it again, just to make sure.

I found it.
If you turn off the WG VPN Client on the router, the external access work’s.

In my option this should not be related.
The http/https/ssh should not use the VPN to forwarder this input ports.

“Services from GL.iNet Use VPN” is turned off.
Someone treaty DDNS as a “Services from GL.iNet” but forgot to put the http/https/ssh together with it.
Can you check an open a ticket for it?

Right. This seems an issue. the ssh/http is only firewall thing. Maybe you can use vpn policy to not use vpn for those servers.

What is your suggestion for that?
Today I use the Policy to Guest Network don’t use VPN.
Because I need this option, to have VPN/non-VPN at the same time here.
I did not find any information about the “Customize Routing Rules - You can manually configure routing rules for each VPN client instance.”

Use vpn policy, mac based policy and not use vpn for the device you want to access using the ddns.

I can confirm I was having the same problem as OP on Slate AX with release firmware 4.1.0. After doing a local upgrade to 4.2.0 beta2 firmware, all my problems with having both Wireguard VPN server/client active at the same time were automatically resolved.

I’m also excited to test the VPN cascading function on the VPN server, though I don’t know how that will work if the device I’m using to tunnel into my VPN server was already assigned to use VPN client previously. Fingers crossed it all just works correctly together. This is turning out to be an excellent purchase for me!

Am I the only one whose VPN connection using VPN client is constantly dropping? After a few hours working, the VPN connection drops and does not automatically reconnect unless I manually stop and start it again. And in the meanwhile, it can’t access Internet anymore.
I tried to change target server, I even reseted firmware, but without success.

Is it a bug in 4.2.0 beta2 ?

Without vpn, is the internet normal?

Yes it is, without VPN as well as with VPN when client is correctly started. It’s just that after some time it turns yellow and remains in “Client starting please wait” status unless I manually stop and restart it. And during this time, Internet is KO.

Edit: browsing the forum, it seems like I’m not the only one experiencing this, with a different VPN service provider than mine. Firmware 4.2.x is out as snapshot firmware - #101 by mainufer Solution is not clearly identified yet though.

There is a issue with loading 2 or more VPN config files that causes everything to wipe and the vpn to get stuck in connecting. Also had it happen if I reloaded a backup config that had more then 10 vpn config files already.

Can you start a new thread with the details of the issue? e.g. vpn service provider, ISP and openvpn or wireguard?

I could go up to the old thread to make a guess but this thread is for other discussion. If you don’t want to post too much details you can email us.

Yes, I actually posted the details of this issue on the other thread where someone faced the same: Firmware 4.2.x is out as snapshot firmware - #191 by DuxBellorum

That is also another long thread and not good to post your issues there.

You can also email us support at glinet.biz I will try my best to help. But it is hard for me to track issues in long thread.

Alright, dedicated thread created, here it is: Wireguard client connection dropping and not reconnecting

4.2 upgrade fixed the issue for me. Now I can run both VPN client and Server together on Flint. Cascading works.

Now, I have another issue. the S2S from Goodcloud doesn’t seems to work now along with cascading.

Hello. I just bought the Beryl AX and thought that I would start here with the VPN feature. The title of this forum is that the client and the server cannot be activated together. Just to be clear, does that mean that the unit comes with a built in VPN, and if I set up my Mullvad account to the unit, only one will be running? One more thing, should I use OpenVPN or WireGuard? Thank you.

The router does not comes with build-in vpn service. You need to set up.

1 Open the [VPN] > [WireGuard Client] settings in the Admin Panel.
2 Click on the configuration button and delete all the servers.
3 Register new servers.
