I enabled wireguard on the slate, I paired my device via QR and I also forwared the port on my router displayed on the wireguard server to the slate device. However, I cannot connect to my home network. What did I do wrong? ---

Can you post exactly how you have done that, including the IP address, ports etc.? > [@merenkov](#): > > However, I cannot connect to my home network Do you mean that you cannot connect to the WireGuard server? or you can connect to WireGuard but cannot access your home? ---

main router port forwarded 51820 UDP&TCP to slate (192.168.1.77) Load client profile on phone and put phone on cellular then connect to wireguard vpn (connection works) however I get no internet and also cannot access any local network IPs On slate I had set DNS to my router 192.168.1.1 which provides DNS ---

Is your gateway 192.168.1.1? If yes then you do not need to set up DNS on slate. Do you have any other app that can access the Internet? Sometime if other app can use the Internet but your browser cannot, it means your DNS is down. ---

disabling dns rebinding protection seems to fix the issue ---
