Hi! I own a Flint 3 GL-BE9300 (fw 4.10.0) with a WireGuard server and Flow Control set up. The router redirects all incoming VPN connections to a "privacy VPN" so that I can connect to my home network remotely and browse privately.
Everything works fine, but Flow Control is not being applied to incoming WireGuard connections. Is there a way to make this work? Thanks!
Hi,
To better understand the behavior, could you please confirm which specific Flow Control feature you are using, such as QoS, SQM, Content Filter, or Parental Control?
Could you also test the same rule with a device connected directly to the Flint 3 via LAN or Wi-Fi, and confirm whether it works normally there but does not apply when the same device connects through the WireGuard Server?
I use content filter and parental control.
I would like to be able to apply the same filtering rules on my childrens devices even when they are away from home
Hi,
The Parental Control is for locally connected devices that can be identified in the router’s client list, usually by their MAC addresses.
A device connected remotely through the WireGuard Server receives a virtual VPN IP address instead of appearing as a local LAN or Wi-Fi client. Therefore, the per-device Parental Control rules cannot be applied to that remote WireGuard client in this scenario.
If the children connect through another GL.iNet router while away, we recommend configuring the same filtering rules on that travel router. The child's device will connect directly to that router, allowing parental control rules to function normally without needing to connect back to the BE9300 remotely.
If a device connects remotely to the BE9300 directly via the WireGuard server, the Content Filter can be used to control it.
However, Content Filter is global and can also affect other devices whose traffic passes through the BE9300.
Our local testing that Content Filter works as expected for traffic from a device connected to the BE9300 VPN server as a VPN client.
If any application or website remains accessible when it should be filtered, could you please let us know the application name, the website or domain if applicable？
Thank you for your support and understanding.
