[Feature request] Replace Wireguard with AmneziaWG

Routers
146

The instructions there are a bit confuse...

"...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.

Sorry, I mean forward to PM team to evaluate if supports AminziaWG.

We have a plan to be whether if support/compatible with AWG in firmware, currently in pre-research and evaluation first.

that is true, but in github you can find some builds for MT6000 see forks for that repo.

I haven't build them, I just used already created packages by @xa0c. But I assume you can find the build process flow in github worklows

There is an instruction (in Russian, but you can simply follow screenshots). And don't miss my short 'note' below text on this screenshot.

P.S. Also, few posts above yours you can find step-by-step guide: [Feature request] Replace Wireguard with AmneziaWG - #124 by vanstr

Will this guide work on GL-MT6000?

I’m disappointed in how GL.iNet has approached this issue, and also in how some community members dismiss why people actually need AmneziaWG.

There’s often an assumption like: “Why would anyone need AmneziaWG? Russians can just buy their own VPS. Who would set up their own server?”
But many of us have use cases beyond that.

For example, I personally maintain five GL.iNet travel routers across family and friends worldwide. I’m American-Russian, so I’m 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 don’t. I’m often the one providing tech support to relatives, and the GL.iNet GUI makes it possible for less technical users to stay connected. That’s 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 don’t 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 don’t want to upset their overlords. If you search the forum for “ShadowSocks,” you’ll see it’s met a similar fate.

Yup. I think it's noteworthy there's still no GL-based mechanism to even update the TailScale client... & that's a very popular WG-based SDN.
