Hello!
I'm trying to connect my ASUS RT-AC66U to the WireGuard VPN server to access the Internet. I've installed the latest available firmware (DD-WRT v3.0-r44715 giga 11/03/20) and have followed the WireGuard guide posted here. It seams that I can establish the tunnel successfully, however, I can't make the traffic from the connected devices to go through the tunnel. Whenever I access websites like the ipleak.net, I'm getting the original IP address displayed.
I've tried to change various options, however, I can't figure out the meaning of some of them. Also, it looks like the guide mentions a more modern build of the DD-WRT.
The WireGuard server is working correctly, I can connect to it directly from my Linux machine using the following config:
Code:
[Interface]
PrivateKey = (obfuscated)
Address = 10.8.0.3/24
DNS = 172.31.0.2
PostUp = ip rule add table 200 from 192.168.1.13
PostUp = ip route add table 200 default via 192.168.1.1
PreDown = ip rule delete table 200 from 192.168.1.13
PreDown = ip route delete table 200 default via 192.168.1.1

Coming from such an old build a reset to defaults *after* update is highly recommended.
Put settings in manually, never restore from a backup (to a different build).
Hmm, thanks
To be honest, this is somewhat counterintuitive, I was just following the most obvious path from the DD-WRT website. What is the purpose of the router database then?
Thanks again, I will try to use more recent version of the DD-WRT then and will get back to update the thread

YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN FRIENDLY AND FAIR NOTICE 🙂
I see. OK.
By the way, I've downloaded the latest available build of DD-WRT and have imported tunnel settings from the config file. Now it works like a charm. Thanks!
