Morning all. I’m new to the whole OpenWRT experience and looking to learn. I’m trying to set up a VPN policy that will route traffic from a specific MAC address through the VPN — but only when it accesses certain IP addresses and URLs. I’ve followed the guides, but it doesn’t seem to route the traffic through the VPN when I connect to those IPs. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going wrong? Im using the Flint2 on the OP24 4.9.0 firmware. ```auto Sat May 30 11:37:07 2026 daemon.notice netifd: Network device 'wgclient1' link is up Sat May 30 11:37:07 2026 user.notice firewall: Reloading firewall due to ifup of wgclient1 (wgclient1) Sat May 30 11:37:08 2026 user.notice vpn-failover-watcher: action=exit iface=wgclient1 source=setup-timeout reason=startup-connecting-timeout result=connected Sat May 30 11:43:15 2026 daemon.info dnsmasq[1]: read /tmp/hosts/dhcp.wgclient1 - 4 names Sat May 30 11:43:15 2026 daemon.info dnsmasq[1]: read /tmp/hosts/dhcp.wgclient1 - 4 names Sat May 30 11:43:31 2026 daemon.notice netifd: wgclient1 (12512): rm: can't remove '/tmp/wireguard/wgclient1_state': No such file or directory Sat May 30 11:43:32 2026 daemon.notice netifd: Network device 'wgclient1' link is down Sat May 30 11:43:32 2026 daemon.notice netifd: Interface 'wgclient1' is now down Sat May 30 11:43:32 2026 daemon.info dnsmasq[1]: read /tmp/hosts/dhcp.wgclient1 - 4 names Sat May 30 11:43:34 2026 user.notice firewall: Reloading firewall due to ifdown of wgclient1 () Sat May 30 11:43:35 2026 user.notice vpn-failover-trigger: action=skip iface=wgclient1 source=hotplug reason=ifdown cause=iface_disabled Sat May 30 11:44:15 2026 daemon.notice netifd: Interface 'wgclient1' is setting up now Sat May 30 11:44:16 2026 daemon.info dnsmasq[1]: read /tmp/hosts/dhcp.wgclient1 - 4 names Sat May 30 11:44:16 2026 daemon.info dnsmasq[1]: read /tmp/hosts/dhcp.wgclient1 - 4 names Sat May 30 11:44:20 2026 daemon.notice netifd: Interface 'wgclient1' is now up Sat May 30 11:44:20 2026 daemon.notice netifd: Network device 'wgclient1' link is up Sat May 30 11:44:20 2026 user.notice vpn-failover-watcher: action=exit iface=wgclient1 source=setup-timeout reason=startup-connecting-timeout result=connected Sat May 30 11:44:20 2026 user.notice firewall: Reloading firewall due to ifup of wgclient1 (wgclient1) Sat May 30 11:44:53 2026 daemon.info dnsmasq[1]: read /tmp/hosts/dhcp.wgclient1 - 4 names Sat May 30 11:44:53 2026 daemon.info dnsmasq[1]: read /tmp/hosts/dhcp.wgclient1 - 4 names ``` * * * ---

Hi Based on the logs, it appears that the WireGuard client is unable to connect to the server properly. Could you please check the client status shown in **Admin Panel → VPN → VPN Dashboard**? If it is not showing a green dot “Connected”, then it may be necessary to verify the VPN configuration file or the availability of the server. ![image](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/6/6/661bb7395d723d46d499d67ae667c0b3a05c9f4b.png) ---
