Hi everyone, I’m looking for help with a WireGuard routing issue on my GL.iNet router.

https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/4/tutorials/wireguard_server_access_to_client_lan_side/#how-to-access-wireguard-client-lan-side-from-server

  • I set the Target Address to 192.168.8.0/24.
  • I set the Gateway to 10.1.0.1.
  • After applying this, devices can still connect to the GL.iNet Wi-Fi, but there is no internet access.
  • The router’s admin panel at http://192.168.8.1/ is no longer accessible.

Has anyone experienced this before, or can explain what went wrong and how to recover access without a full reset?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you, a short reset worked!

But how do I set up the routing correctly on the WireGuard router? What should the Target Address and Gateway be if my LAN is under 192.168.8.0/24, and my mobile client with the WireGuard client has a client IP of 10.0.0.2/24?

So you have a single mobile device connecting via wg, correct? Not a second network?

If so the only configuration you should need on the router are firewall rules to allow forwarding from wg to lan. I am guessing that's what the second step in the GL-iNet help accomplishes. That's what I would recommend trying.

If I was doing this on "normal" OpenWRT I would create a firewall zone wg, and allow traffic to/from it and lan.

On the client device you should be good to go without changes if AllowedIPs is set to 0.0.0.0/, ::/0 (sending all traffic through wg).
