How to route a device traffic to wireguard client connected to my WG server

  • Does the router successfully communicate to a Proton VPN endpoint?
    • This should be check before setting up WG Server to prepare for VPN Cascading
    • After confirming it works I would keep it disabled while setting up the WG Server Router Rule
  • What is the router's WG Server IP? I assume 10.0.0.1/24.
  • Per @hansome's screen shots above: his WG Server Router Rule example of 10.0.0.7 would be Device A's WG IP (10.0.0.2)
    • Ensure 'Allow Remote Access LAN' is toggled on in the WG Server Options
    • Check the 'wg client LAN' (192.168.8.0/24)
    • Check the 'wg client tunnel IP' (10.0.0.2)
    • Check the 'scope' (global)
    • Test via ping 192.168.8.100. It should reach Device B if that device's firewall is set to respond to pings.
  • Once the WG Server is routing back to 192.168.0.0/24 then engage WG Client + VPN Cascading
  • Test via ping again.

What model is your GL router?

I think firmware v4.8 will be easier to configure your needs:

The router is a Flint 2. I gave the new firmware a try and it works perfectly!
