First off I'm green as can be with openwrt. Im having trouble installing wireguard vpn on my router. I have a TP-Link Archer A7 router and I'm following the tutorial that Surfshark has online the problem is it's not accurate. I try following the instructions but they are not working. Im using the latest version of openwrt can someone point me in direction i need to go. I really appreciate any an all help
I assume you're talking about these instructions from the Surfshark support page? My initial impression of the page is that it looks accurate and complete, so what part do you think it's not?
In what way does it not work? Is there a specific step in the instructions where you got stuck? Can you ssh
into your router and show the contents of /etc/config/network
and /etc/config/firewall
?
MAKE SURE YOU REDACT ALL PRIVATE KEYS BEFORE POSTING YOUR CONFIGURATION TO THE FORUMS!
When you create the wireguard interface it says to put in the private key. The proble is you also have to putin the public key also that is not in the instructions . From that point on it's pretty standard but once the interface is created and running it doesn't connect to the internet. Like i said earlier I'm new to openwrt software so instructions on how to do that would be helpful please.( Can you ssh
into your router and show the contents of /etc/config/network
and /etc/config/firewall
?) Also the luci-app is not the same as in the instructions
ETC/config/network permission Denied
ETC/config/firewall not found
I figured it out. Isaw a post where someone had the same problem and he was told to generate a key for the public key. I did it and it worked. Speeds are a bt slow but at east its working.
