iPhone USB Tethering works, but WiFi devices have no Internet

So I've got my GLMT3000 and loving it on first impressions so far, but I'm having a little trouble getting devices to connect to it, and the Internet correctly using my iPhone as a USB hotspot.
This is the device chain I'm looking to use in the future, so trying to get it set up now.
Laptop -> 5G to -> MT3000 -> USB to -> iPhone
In the Dashboard it says the connection is all good, but my laptop won't connect to the Internet, only to the router.

This is in the system Overview page

MT3000 is running Firmware 4.6.4 release3
iPhone is running iOS 18.0 (22A3354)
Laptop is running Windows 11 Pro 23H2 - Version 22631.4169

I'll note that I upgraded the firmware while the MT3000 was using the iPhone as it's gateway and that worked fine.

Please check if you can ping IPs (like ping 9.9.9.9) and DNS (like ping forum.gl-inet.com) from your PC.

There was a random WireGuard tunnel in my adapters which was blocking all traffic when connected to the MT3000. No idea how it got there or what it was. Super annoying!

Goal is to now get a VPN from the MT3000 back to my Ubiquiti Dream Machine. Thinking I might need to use the WireGuard server feature on the Dream Machine?

I don't know the "Dream Machine" so I can't really help with it.
How does the network topology look?

I got it working, and everything is so smooth. Absolutely love how easy it was to fix everything.
Enabling these settings in the VPN helped alot.
