I just installed my new Firewalla Gold at home and set up a Wireguard VPN Server. It was super simple to get my iPhone to create a client that could connect. (Like scan a QR code simple).
Does anyone have experience setting up a VPN client on gl-inet Beryl travel router? I would like to use Wireguard to get VPN into my home network when I am traveling. The instructions that I have found so far call for manual config files but don’t tell me where to get the files unless I am connecting with a VPN service (like NordVPN). Hopefully, someone has a link to a how-to for Firewalla.
Not sure how the Beryl compares to the Mango, but it wasn’t much harder. You just go into the WebUI for the travel router, find the WireGuard client section and create a new client setup. You have to import the profile, but if you are doing this all from an iPhone or iPad, you can just download the profile on the Firewalla client setup page and just upload it to the travel router WebUI from the iPhone….
I was only able to test it by putting the travel router on my home guest network (which is isolated via WAP rules to only talk to the Firewalla gateway IP), and it came up and seemed to be working just fine.
So maybe it will take twice as long as with the WireGuard client on the iPhone…. but that what, 2.5 minutes vs. 1.25?
Use the GL.iNet mobile app and you can upload the config file or scan the QR code FWG generates. I don’t think the current stable web interface for the Beryl (3.x) allows uploading a file to configure Wireguard. That being said, you can always open the config file in a text editor and copy the contents into the manual configuration section to set it up that way.
SlateAX and Flint running the 4.x firmware allows file upload I believe.
The manual config isn’t too tricky, you can find an example of what the config file looks like online, I actually ended up using the Windows WireGuard app to create the file then imported it into the Beryl, it was the easiest way for me to create a private and public key pair with the apps I currently had installed.
I will say the one problem that I’m having, and I’m pretty sure it’s caused by the fact that my WireGuard server isn’t on the firewall and I need to figure some routing things, but essentially all my traffic will exit from my home network correctly, but I can’t access internal devices.
I have the Slate GLI. NET router and my issue is that, I think to install Wireguard, the checkmate is that we have to install something on a computer. And if you have a computer that is monitored by your company, it will not work.
I am having issues and wondering if someone can help. I have a firewalla Gold and trying to do a site to site VPN using a Glinet Slate plus A1300. I export the wireguard config from the firewalla to the Glinet, then start the wireguard on the firewalla, then turn on the client on the Glinet. It connects to the firewalla and the firewalla shows that it is connected. The problem is that there is no internet access. I have a laptop wirelessly connected to the GLInet and the Glinet connected to a Starbucks hotspot. Without VPN, everything works. When I turn on wireguard, it connects to my home firewalla but I cannot access the internet, I tried several things unsuccessfully. Verified that the port is UDP 51820, that there is no block of internet access for the wireguard VPN on the firewalla. Then checked on the GLinet side and tried manual and google DNS settings. Nothing worked. Any suggestions?
I would agree. I have the Shadow, Beryl, Brume, and SlateAX. Same process for all of them.
Thank you for your instructions. I got it set up this morning.
