"...You will have to configure Amnezia using LUCI web interface, but once configured and installed, you can continue using full power on GL.iNET interface (including VPN settings)..."
There is no instructions about how to install it or how to configure it.
Iâm disappointed in how GL.iNet has approached this issue, and also in how some community members dismiss why people actually need AmneziaWG.
Thereâs often an assumption like: âWhy would anyone need AmneziaWG? Russians can just buy their own VPS. Who would set up their own server?â
But many of us have use cases beyond that.
For example, I personally maintain five GL.iNet travel routers across family and friends worldwide. Iâm American-Russian, so Iâm familiar with casual DPI in Russia, but I also encounter restrictions in places like Dubai or certain European hotels. In those environments, even basic WireGuard often gets blocked, making it inconvenient or unusable without additional layers like AmneziaWG.
While I have the technical skills to work around these limitations (custom firmware, additional packages, etc.), my concern is supporting family members who donât. Iâm often the one providing tech support to relatives, and the GL.iNet GUI makes it possible for less technical users to stay connected. Thatâs why I believe official support for AmneziaWG is not just a niche request, but a feature that would make the product significantly more practical for many in 2025.
For every person posting about this, there are likely many more who share the same frustration but donât voice it. I hope this helps highlight why AmneziaWG support is important.
GL iNet is also based in a country with restrictions on Internet freedom. Maybe they simply donât want to upset their overlords. If you search the forum for âShadowSocks,â youâll see itâs met a similar fate.
