Hi,

i recently bought this router, and trying to setup a wiregaurd vpn server, it doesn’t see to be the router problem but i am unable to connect to this server from the client. Any help will be appreciated, here is the error message:

To confirm: the Slate AX is to be the VPN via WG Server, correct? Those logs indicate you’re trying to set up the ATX1800 as a WG Client (per Interface: 'wgclient' is setting now). That’s the method you’d want to use if you used a VPN provider like Mullvad, Surfhark, IVPN, Proton VPN, etc.
