whether until now there is no way to enjoy wireguard normally, the wireguard problem when the lights go out or the router reboots the wireguard cannot be reconnected if the wireguard is not connected again the internet cannot be accessed. I tried almost all the methods in this forum and in other forums until now it didn't work, I had to sync the time in the browser so that the wireguard can get back in touch. I hope the development team will see my moan in order to find a solution so that the guards can be enjoyed like openvpn without control stay connected
- Just pick a NTP server that can be accessed outside of the tunnel
- You would have to ask the Wireguard developers, not OpenWrt's
Let's troubleshoot this, first.

thank you for your response. can you give me an example
- Just pick a NTP server that can be accessed outside of the tunnel
user@machine:~$ nslookup 1.north-america.pool.ntp.org
Server: 127.0.0.53
Address: 127.0.0.53#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: 1.north-america.pool.ntp.org
Address: 98.191.213.7
Name: 1.north-america.pool.ntp.org
Address: 195.21.137.209
Name: 1.north-america.pool.ntp.org
Address: 50.205.244.107
Name: 1.north-america.pool.ntp.org
Address: 72.38.129.202
Let's use 72.38.129.202:
#in /etc/config/network
config route
option interface 'wan'
option target '72.38.129.202'
option netmask '255.255.255.255'
option gateway '192.168.1.x'
Be sure to add the IP to your time System settings!

thank you I will try and tell the results
For reliability I'd recommend setting up 4 NTP servers this way. If you use one, and it goes down, then you can't get back up. With 4 it's unlikely they'll all be down at once.
Another option is to set up one of your LAN machines as an NTP server. particularly one like a desktop or media PC that has an RTC clock. Then you can get time from your local network without needing the WAN.
Another option is to use the firewall to tag all UDP packets on the NTP port with a firewall mark... then use a route rule to select a separate routing table for routing those packets... this will work with all NTP servers on the internet.

You can also use a one shot sync bound to interface
ntpd -n -q -N -I wan -p 0.uk.pool.ntp.org -p 1.uk.pool.ntp.org

Ooh, I like that even better, because you can easily set it up in /etc/rc.local and it doesn't require any monkey business with routing or firewall.

Thank you. where should I store this on my ?
Thank you.
is this what you mean? I need to save this in /etc/rc.local
ntpd -n -q -N -I wan -p 0.uk.pool.ntp.org -p 1.uk.pool.ntp.org
There would be no name resolution without an Up tunnel (if the OP's DNS servers are up the tunnel too). Use IP addresses.
The OP said:
Also be sure to use a NTP server that advises using its IP is OK.
Will this not work if I try on my router?
ntpd -n -q -N -I wan -p 203.114.225.252 -p 203.114.224.31
yes using the IPs should work. However you probably need to replace the word "wan" with the OS interface name like eth1 or eth0.2 or something... also I'd add 2 or 3 more ip addresses.
i am using wwan interfaces is this correct?
ntpd -n -q -N -I wwan -p 162.159.200.123 -p 203.114.74.17
do i have to wear this?
ntpd -n -q -N -I wlan0 -p 162.159.200.123 -p 203.114.74.17
Perhaps you can run it manually with debug and see what you get first. Replace eth9 with your interface
root@repeater:~# ntpd -d -n -q -N -I eth9 -p 162.159.200.123 -p 203.114.74.17

I followed your direction I opened Putty following this command but there was no response in Putty
ntpd -d -n -q -N -I eth9 -p 162.159.200.123 -p 203.114.74.17
You need to replace eth9 with your interface
ntpd -d -n -q -N -I wlan0 -p 162.159.200.123 -p 203.114.74.17
I have tried to replace it with wlan0 but there was no response in my putty using openwrt 19.07.1
Do you get a response from
ping -I wlan0 8.8.8.8
No respon ping -I wlan0 8.8.8.8
