Flint GL-AX1800 VPN setup with PIA Access Wireguard

Tomservo1 · 2022-05-25T22:15:49.884Z

I’ve just purchased both of the above products,
Is there a setup guide for Newby’s for the subject above?
I’ve tried the YouTube but they always seem to assume that we’re familiar with the tech-talk.

thanks

Why Yes if you go just under where you selected forum there is a tab labeled Documentation pick you router and find the subject.
Here is what you want

docs.gl-inet.com

VPN - GL.iNet Docs

Documentation for GL.iNet Productions

Depending on what services you are using Mallvad as a example takes a while to build a list of the 400+ servers so be patient and wait for it to finish stuff.

For PIA, please use the smartphone app to setup.

Go to the wireguard client setup and find PIA.

Thank you so much! I was confused with the word ‘Client’ as to it’s meaning in this situation.
kind regards

what??? Really?/ that easy? I’ve been googling like crazy how to setup PIA Wireguard, but PIA doesn’t provide the config files like they do for Open VPN.
Thanks!!

It works but when I did it over the app it deleted my original Wireguard profile.

The app only pushes one config to the router.

When you set up a new config it replaced the old one.

This is by design.

We are working on the improvlement. But pls accept how it works now because it is very each to change profile.

I've been using PIA VPN's Wireguard protocol for 2 years. It's very nice, very fast!

How can I find/save the WG Config file??? I need to manually add this to another router. PIA still only has OVPN Conf Files on their Downloads section...

Running wg showconf wgclient via SSH should give you the config.
