Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hi, I bought a Zyxel LTE5398-M904. I absolutely need to use VPN client Wireguard protocol. Is it possible to do this using Openwrt? Thank you

Thank you for your reply. Please can you help me with some advice?

  • Which firmware exactly should I install?
  • If you can, please, paste some links to YouTube videos that can guide me

Thank you

openwrt doesn't come with WG preinstalled, you have to manually add it.

I'm sure Google can, YT is after all, owned by them.

This device is not supported by any of the stable builds, you will have to install the latest snapshot. From there, you can follow the guides at https://openwrt.org/docs/start.

If you use the Firmware Selector to get your image, you can add the WireGuard package(s) by clicking on the "Customize installed packages and/or first boot script" line, pasting in the package name(s) (the most convenient is just "luci-app-wireguard" which installs everything else as dependencies anyway), and then pressing "Request Build".

I don't find the WireGuard client setup guide in the OpenWrt documentation to be very easy to follow (it's very cryptic and all config-based), but if you're doing this for a privacy VPN, the provider may have a more user-friendly guide. Mullvad has a pretty good one, for example.
