Plugin servers down ?

Technical Support for Routers
1

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

Is the repository server down?

Hello,

  1. GL repo does not support access through browser web pages.

  2. Please try to update to the latest GL firmware and try to execute update again: opkg update

  3. 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.

Can ping the domain name on client which connected to this router or on SSH of router?
Or can only ping the IP address?

If ADG and ADG handle the client request are enabled, now ADG is a DNS server.
Please check the ADG DNS configuration.
