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?
No worries,
I use dns for my wireguard endpoint so it hits myserverurl:50001 . Im using the router as a wg client however connecting to my server.
I have ip tables rules my server. To route connections. Its been a while but I used this back in the day when I set it up
thanks a lot
That rule is supposed to be set on the "server" at the other end of the wg connection, using its own wg address as gateway. Not on the router for the lan you're trying to access. That seems like a pretty easy mistake to make given that documentation.
You could try a short reset of just the network configuration. Hold reset for like 5 seconds. Might need to do a full reset (10+ seconds) if that doesn't get you back in.

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).
thanks a lot
Is it now handing out IPs in a different subnet? Check the IP given to your client.
it is still under 192.168.8.0/24
