Hi there,
correct me if I’m wrong but currently, to configure a router (MT300N-V2 in my case) to use wireguard, I have to compile openwrt manually and I can’t reuse the existing image builders, so I have two questions:
Is there interest on having wireguard installed on the stable firmware in a future?
Is it possible to simplify wireguard installation by maybe adding support for it on the imagebuilder?
Hi bpinto,
Do you mean this:
[*] Networking support –>
Networking options –>
[*] TCP/IP networking
[*] IP: WireGuard secure network tunnel
[ ] Debugging checks and verbose messages
If this feature is more commonly used, it should be added later.
Hi tangxiusi,
yes this is one of the necessary configurations. Wireguard has gained a lot of momentum recently because it’s very easy to setup and it’s much faster than openvpn.
We would need this option enabled and to install the wireguard package on openwrt: opkg install wireguard
I know one day wireguard will come installed by default, until then, what would be the easiest way to build a custom firmware that has the same features as the original firmware but with the kernel change and the openwrt package installed? I have tried to create a custom image using the image builder but after booting, I didn’t have access to the Web UI config.
yes , I will suggest alzhao to adding this configuration in kernel. I think he is very care about this applications.
That would be awesome!
@alzhao To test if it’s working, you could try any of these free wireguard VPN providers:
