On 4.7.7 my Wireguard configs work however when I upgrade to any 4.8.\* version my Wireguard only allows internet access and doesn’t allow access to the network, what changes do i need to make to make it work? ---

Hi Do you mean that you are attempting to access devices on the WireGuard client side (the GL.iNet router’s LAN) from the WireGuard server side? If so, please ensure that **Allow Remote Access to the LAN Subnet** is enabled. ![image](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/4/e/4e9ca16765ed35695645378fa6be15c06b3b9bba.png) ---

Thank you for replying, yes remote access and IP masquerading has been on in both versions I also modified my firewall like this: ![image](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/0/6/0622c6dbc986c6ae02314c26ccc2f8ca5daac0c5.png) However on 4.8.\* nothing seems to work anymore, I can only connect to VPN and use internet, no more network access. ---

In firmware 4.8.x, WireGuard interfaces created via the GL UI have been renamed to `wgclient1`, `wgclient2`, and so on. If you previously created firewall zones manually, please make sure they reference the correct networks/interfaces. ![image](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/b/4/b4bf1bbe79ce2c3f44c521be5f3b816d07ea457f.png) ![image](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/5/d/5dbf401eaea799aedc301f85fd5d702d87bee8ce.png) If the issue persists, we recommend restoring the device to factory settings and configuring it again: > **[Repair network or reset - GL.iNet Router Docs 4](https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/4/faq/repair_network_or_reset_firmware/)** > > Documentation for GL.iNet Router Productions ---
