Setting up killswitch through firewall rules

Installing and Using OpenWrt

Thanks so much!
Changing default option output to accept made me able to ping 8.8.8.8 although the times are very bad :grin:

22

But with VPN still not working unfortunately

23

If you can ping you can also do a traceroute so do:

traceroute 8.8.8.8
24

First I got this:


root@OpenWrt:~# ping 8.8.8.8

Then I tried traceroute and got this:


root@OpenWrt:~# traceroute 8.8.8.8
traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 46 byte packets

Who could understand this? :smiley:

I have Mullvad too and have exactly the same config as you have and that is working.
I have seen this behaviour once when a Mullvad server was not working or was overcrowded.

So what you can try is to make a new Mullvad config to another server and try that, do not forget to enable Route Allowed IPs and to set PersistentKeepalive to 25

26

Thank you. I now tried a completely new config and followed instructions on mullvad page to configure but still same problem.

27

Hmm I must be overlooking something :frowning:
But I am out of options at the moment

No Problem, really appreciate your help. I will reset and start from scratch again :slight_smile:
