Hello all,

I set up a Wireguard client tunnel with a commercial vpn on a secondary router following this link:
https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=319319.
This worked perfectly fine when my router's WAN connection type was set to Automatic DHCP. Now I changed my WAN connection type to disabled for other reasons but the Wireguard client does not work anymore.

I was reading here and there that I needed to add the following rules but no luck:
Code:

iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o br0 -j SNAT --to $(nvram get lan_ipaddr)   
route add -host $(nvram get oet1_rem0) gw $(nvram get lan_gateway) dev $(get_wanface)


I am running DD-WRT v3.0-r53469 std (09/08/23).

Any pointers would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

That thread you are referring to is outdated.

Current setup guides see https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=327397 which is a sticky in this forum.

It looks like you want to setup a WG client on a Wireless Access Point aka dumb AP, information regarding that is in the Advanced setup guide

Thanks a lot! I followed the Client on the WAP section in the Advanced setup guide and I believe I got it working!

The one thing I would want to change is the DNS which is now using the one from my primary router (xfinity router). Would there be any ways to change the DNS when using the Wireguard tunnel?

The WireGuard setup page has a DNS box, the DNS server(s) you enter there will be used when the tunnel is active.
(There is even Split DNS in case you are using PBR, see the Client setup guide)

Thanks a lot! I saw that DNS box in the Wireguard setup page but that did not work. I ended up unbridging wl0 and wl1 and forcing a DNS server from there.
