VPN auto reconnect / retry on fail

Barryboom · 2021-11-07T14:35:47.498Z

Hi

i operate over 40 routers all running Wireguard as the VPN client however every now and then one of these often after a reboot fails to succesfully reconnect to the WG server and only way to fix is to connect to router browse to setting hit ABORT and then CONNECT and it then connects fine

this is show that its failed when the below indicator is YELLOW instead of green like below

it unclear to me why its failed maybe main ISP was not quite working at time of GLINET router being brought online but some method of retry after say 5 mins would be really handy rather than having to manually fix everytime this occurs.

i have mixed router types inclduing Ar750s and MT300N V2s and a mix of firmware but majority of issues are with the MT300N V2’s and i have most of my estate running 3.203 firmware

Pls try 3.211 snapshot. GL.iNet download center

Fixed a problem related to wireguard when device reboot or ISP network unstable.

i will give it a try however seem to have lost the ability to upgrade to testing firmware from goodcloud but will upgrade a few locally and wait for the official release and hope it sorts the issue.

@alzhao i would be very careful in advising anyone to try this on a Mango MT300N-V2 thats 2 routers i have tried locally to upgrade from 3.203 using snapshot as advised and its broken both. Looked as though it was installing fine verified the install but upon reboot it fails to come back online instead just continues with a single flashing light repeating for power.

P.s the update worked fine on an AR750S just seems to be an issue on MT300N -V2

going to try the unbrick method to reset
