I’m running GL-AX1800 with VPN Client Proton Wireguard active with all network traffic routed through Proton. I’m also running Adguard home through the VPN to prevent DNS leaks. I wanted to create a Wireguard Server so I can connect to my LAN when out of the home to make network adjustments if necessary.
I was able to create the server and scan the QR code with my Wireguard app. The app says it’s connected but I’m not receiving any internet traffic to the phone while on the cell network through the VPN server nor am I able to connect to any of the devices on the local network. I went as far as ensuring my server ports for proton werent conflicting with my personal server port.
When the app says connected (does not mean much with WG BTW), can you browse the internet? Is it that you have a problem accessing internal servers (because on the screenshot you attached it shows some traffic)? If so, did you enable “access local network”?
Didnt realize it meant little with wireguard, thanks for that tidbit. I can do anything on the phone when it says im connected to my home networkl. internet and local clients cant be reached.
I turned on use DDNS under the wireguard profile and still no dice. The internet IP under the internet page does not match what my public IP is, likely because the proton VPN is on at the same time
It depends on how the AX1800 function in such a situation (I’ve never tried this as my main router is not a GL.iNet).
You can disable Proton VPN briefly and do the same comparison for the public and router ip addresses. While it’s disabled, try your phone again and see if you connect successfully.
When you check your router’s WAN ip address is it between 100.64.0.0 – 100.127.255.255?
If it shows that you’re connected now then you should at least be able to browse the internet through your home’s router and if the “allow LAN access” is enabled, you should be able to reach internal hosts.
Did you regenerate a new WG profile after disabling OpenVPN? If not, try it.
I’m not sure what to try next. Maybe making sure you’re on the latest firmware and rebooting the router.

It’s a fairly straightforward setup, I’ve been able to test the same functionality (WG server) with my Beryl AX and Mango when I received them about five weeks ago, albeit not as main routers (had to forward ports to them). So your case should be easier since it’s the main router.
Sorry I have no more suggestions. You should contact support and refer them to this thread, hopefully you’ll get it resolved soon.
I updated from 4.1.0 to 4.2.1 and it seems like everything is fixed now and working with this issue, thank you for that input!!! it never said update avail until I manually uploaded it. Im still tinkering around on random wifi 5ghz band freezes and random IoT devices continually dropping connection and reconnect.
I made a short video of whats happening and uploaded it to Imgur. I made the adjustment you mentioned and still have the same result. Occasionally I’ll see the IoT device that’s bouncing on and off network flashing in the house (signaling it’s not connected) for a few seconds before reconnecting.
