Got a new GL-MT1300 in order to serve as a Wireguard client hotspot on my PiVPN Wireguard server. Can’t get it to work.
Looking in the forums I see another issue specifically on the GL-MT1300. As well as other reports of issues on other routers when using PiVPN Wireguard servers (1, 2).
The server and the client configurations work great on mobile devices and desktop I have tested on. When I input manually, or via .conf file, or via QR code using the GL.iNet app, it does not work. It spins on “connecting” and then the button changes to “abort.”

AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::0/0
I tried removing the IPv6 entry under allowed IPs in both the server variables and in the conf file, as I read GL.iNet does not play nice with IPv6. I tried removing the two DNS entries in the server config, leaving it at just one DNS entry.
