Yea it was, I used the IP you provided.

Apologies; I edited my post since you just made that post. Could you refresh? I’d like to see what, if anything, reports back from the WG display tools. It shows slightly more information that what’s given using the GL GUI’s VPN Dashboard.

What’s your LAN IP for the Slate AX (GL GUI → Network → LAN → Router IP Address)?
What IP address is your Opal assigning to the Slate AX as a Opal Wi-Fi Client (GL GUI → Clients)?

Question #1 192.168.8.1
Question #2 So when I go to Clients in the OPAL I dont see Slate AX on there. I see the laptop I used, my phone and my other desktop and the IPS vary. Under WireGuard Server in the OPAL device I see Slate AX CLient IP being 172.58.100.112

defbeat7 · 2023-07-09T03:50:46.267Z

Ok so I just went to Slate AX (GL GUI → VPN → VPN Dashboard → and click on the configuration file I see the following address hj28981.glddns.com:51820 and when I SSH into Slate AX and run the following it shows it as closed there.

I think your two routers are conflicting based on their LAN IPs. This could block WG in a collision if so. Can you set your Opal to 192.168.18.1 instead of its default .8.1?

(GL GUI → Network → LAN → Router IP Address)

defbeat7 · 2023-07-09T04:07:15.757Z

Done, I was able to SSH into it as well to confirm the IP change.

Based on the result of your last nmap probe for your ddns it appears your Slate AX is connected to your ATT modem. Is this the case?

If so which device do you intend to act as the WG Server? The Opal or Slate AX? The Opal, correct? If so that should be the one connected as ATT ISP → Opal WAN.

defbeat7 · 2023-07-09T04:19:17.684Z

Yes the SlateAX is hardwired to the modem and so is the Opal. The Opal will stay behind and the SlateAX is the one I will take with me when I travel.

bring.fringe18 · 2023-07-09T04:21:30.370Z

Okay, let’s disconnect the Slate AX’s Ethernet cable & set it to act as a Repeater of the Opal. We’re going to dry run this as if you’re at a friend’s house using their Wi-Fi to connect out to your GL DDNS via the Slate AX.

[Feature Request] GL GUI: Button for Repeater's Connect vs Link Technical Support for Routers

Hello, I think it would be an improvement for Firmware 4.2.x’s GUI if there was a button instead of an easily overlooked link for Repeater functionality. Current [2023-07-08 14_37_15-GL.iNet Admin Panel - Chromium] Purposed [repeater_-_purposed]

Disconnected it and connected it as repeater.

bring.fringe18 · 2023-07-09T04:26:36.083Z

Great. Can you ssh into the Slate AX & post the associated IPs it has? I’m looking to check for IP conflicts w/ the Opal, just to be sure.

ip a | grep 192

Good stuff. wlan-sta0 is exactly what I’m looking for. Can you run a new nmap probe on your ddns, please? I’m expecting it to report GL-SFT1200.attlocal.net.

So there’s no rDNS record returned this time. Odd. Can you reboot the Opal? I’m looking to force it to update your GL DDNS record which it should do immed. after a fresh boot.

If it has the WG Server running on it, please deactivate it first… & if the Slate AX is trying to run WG Client, pls disable it too for the moment.

… Oh, I should mention that I’m not posting the actual ddns for your GL DDNS; it’s something I consider to be a bit of a privacy/security issue so I’ve muddled the numbers a bit.

~~But while I think of it, that GL DDNS hj[redacted] string/code is for the Opal, correct? They are device specific.~~ (EDIT: You identified it was earlier.)

Im a noob and have exactly the same issue but I’m failing to understand the solution. Can u plz help?

You need to give all the details of your setup.Give your config if necessary. So you’d better do it via email to support at glinet.biz
