Hello GL.iNet community! I love the GL series routers having used several in the past and now currently using a Flint 2 at home and a Beryl AX for mobile usage. I've come across a particular issue which may be a firmware limitation but I wanted to bounce it off the wise minds of this forum.
Situation: I connect to an EAP network, usually directly from my computer and then use mullvad VPN client. this scenario works fine, but I am now using a rig that has several components which need connectivity so I brought out the Beryl AX. It connects perfectly fine to the EAP network using the latest op24 firmware (v4.6.3-op24), but if i try to enable mullvad via wireguard or openvpn, it fails with the following log:

I should note that I believe the hotel connection that I am using does use anti-vpn countermeasures but I am still able to connect via the windows mullvad client when I enable "obfuscation". Is there any way to enable this on the router?
Any advice on how to get this up and running would be greatly appreciated!
