Hi!
Got my Flint 2 at the end of 2024. Since then whenever I go to checkout plugins I get " Failed to update repository list, please check your network and try again. "
When I go to the repository via browser page it fails to find the resource and displays Error: [object Object] so the server is reachable but the plugin repository is not loading the package list>
And of course I get the same when I check for package updates via shell
opkg update

GL repo does not support access through browser web pages.
Please try to update to the latest GL firmware and try to execute update again: opkg update
If the update fails, try to download the package.gz file through "wget": wget <https://fw.gl-inet.com/.........../Packages.gz> (Manually copy that full link)
No luck with those, but I did manage to figure out that the issue is something to do with router running a wire-guard client.
I have wire guard client and a wire-guard server running on the router with VPN client not attached to local or public VLAN and VPN server having VPN cascading enabled in essence meaning that each client connecting to VPN server will get routed to the VPN client. But all other client traffic will get routed without a VPN.
What I didn't take into account is how this setup will affect traffic coming from the router it self. For now it appears that when the VPN client is enabled, traffic from the router is not able to resolve DNS.
I'm also running Adguard Home and have native Dynamic DNS enabled.
Right now I'm unsure what exactly is causing the issue of DNS resolution, but this indeed is not a Plugin server problem.
I hope I'll figure it out as otherwise router will not be able to check for updates whitest running the Wireguard client.
I'm having a similar issue, also on a Flint 2, but I am not running AdGuard or DDNS. I receive the "Failed to update repository list, please check your network and try again," message when I go to Plug-ins and cannot update the firmware via the GUI. The latter is no problem since we can update manually. However, I'd like to add tcpdump per your recommendation in another thread for something unrelated to this topic. (Perhaps I can do this manually as well?)
I am running an OpenVPN client, so I'm presuming the GL repository is rejecting my VPN's IP (?). Is there a way around this? I saw one suggestion in another thread about adding a rule for port 53. Thanks! (And sorry if these are stupid questions/presumptions. I am not the sharpest tool when it comes to this stuff.)
Apologies. When you said Luci, I thought you meant the GL Admin Panel. I have not been using Luci in that case and have been updating manually in the Admin Panel, specifically the "Firmware Local Upgrade" tab.
As for an error, I seem to recall it simply wouldn't proceed. I'll make note the next time we have an update. I suppose I could revert then try again, but I hestitate because of other user needs...
Yes, tcpdump has been successfully installed and I've successfully run it. Thank you! On that note, I'm having trouble moving the pcap file from the router to my local disk for analysis. Surely I can do that through ssh and scp, but I haven't been successful. Likewise, I'd like to think I could simply capture to the local disk instead of moving it.
Confirmed it's DNS related for me. I had my DNS set manually. I changed it to automatic, which pulled my ISP's DNS in the admin panel, but my DNS traffic is still going through my VPN client according to DNSleaktest. Regardless, I'm not seeing the same problem with the plug-in repository or firmware updates.
