I’ve tried advice online such as switching only to UPD, using different wifi connections from my home router etc. My intention is to use wireguard as a VPN for travelling, but I’m currently still in Australia.
Here’s the configuration [but i’ve tried many different variations of this]
[Interface]
Address = 10.20.0.2/24
DNS = 64.6.64.6
MTU = 1420

Thank you for your responses. Yes, I’m trying to get up wireguard on the home beryl router and my client beryl router for traveling.
I have connected to my mobile hotspot when trying to connect the client to wireguard so that it is not using the same wifi connection and it doesn’t work.
Yes, my server Beryl router is behind my home router, and I believe i have set up port forwarding sufficiently.
BTW I edited the original post to include my current configurations if that helps. Thanks
I have used the 51820 values twice for both WAN and LAN ports when setting up port forwarding and have set it up with UDP and there does not seem to be any issues on that front
Hi Mariam, Im having the same problem my log is identical to yours:( I use it for my job while abroad - worked great for a few weeks and now it just decided not to connect and has gone yellow. It goes blue for a few hours then goes back to yellow again lol If you find a solution please let me know and I will also let you know if I find a solution to this… email address: [redacted]
That’s because these logs don’t tell anything. They will be the same even if the connection will be successful. (At least until Interface ‘wgclient’ is now down)
So to understand what is happening here it needs more details:
Did you change anything (like fw upgrade?)
Is your DDNS entry working?
Is your VPN provider - if used - working? Is the server reachable?
Try from a different device directly - does it work?
It works - everything is done correctly - but it randomly disconnects
Its been working for weeks
2 slate ax 1800s
1 connected to UK ISP HOME
other with me abroad
port forward is setup correctly - I did it again today and wireguard server started blue light for about an hour , then randomly turned yellow and disconnected
I was using it fine today fro about 40 minutes - I had my home IP address then all of a sudden went yellow and that was the log^
I can’t figure out why it would go yellow when it is already working. If I never got it to wok in the first place clearly there is a mistake in the setup - but If its working then by itself just decides to randomly stop working what is the possible problem? I just cant figure it out
I dont think so - I use EE ISP in the UK big well known company they even offer me the VPN option on my port forward rule - I can use that instead of TCP/Udp both and ti still works but then disconnects after a while - yesterday it was on for about 10 hourss before the blue light went yellow and before that it was active for 3 whole weeks with no interruption
Hmm, I guess it will be difficult to find the root cause. You might need some monitoring to see if the WAN connection itself is the issue or just the wireguard connection.
Do you use PersistentKeepalive = 25 in your config as well?
Yes i do
the configuration is automatically generated
I use port 51820
10.0.0.1/24 ipv4
I add profile take the configuration with (ddns):51820
I pop the configuration into wg client and it works so many times
I just watched many youtube videos and figure it out - its been working for many weeks and now just keeps disconnecting randomly. But I use 2 GLINET SLATE AX 1800 routers - its so easy to set it up and it works aswell but Im so lost now that it keeps dropping the connection randomly
