I have set up multiple wireguard connection profiles as failover which is supported in fw 4.9.0, but it never works. I just had another wg server problem but the failover didnt work and I had to manually switch servers.
it stayed on the server even no internet was working anymore for a minute or so.
either the test threshold is too low, or the fail over doesnt work at all. please give option to lower the test interval to some own timer or change it to something like 20 seconds or so sending out 3 pings and if it doesnt work change servers
In firmware v4.9.0, when multiple profiles are selected within the same VPN tunnel, the router monitors the currently active profile. When the current profile is detected as failed, the tunnel should automatically try the next profile in the list.
Could you please check the following when the issue occurs?
What happened to the WireGuard server or connection when the issue occurred? What status did the tunnel show on the VPN Dashboard—Connected or Connecting?
Did the tunnel remain on the same profile, or did it automatically try the next profile in the list? Did Internet access recover immediately only after you manually selected the next profile?
If the tunnel still showed Connected , was Internet access completely unavailable or intermittent?
If possible, could you please also provide a screenshot of the VPN Dashboard and the VPN connection log while the issue is occurring?
We have noted your suggestion to make the detection interval and failure threshold configurable and will forward it for further evaluation.
