unbound (quad 9 DNS), adblock, and wireguard (mullvad vpn)
all working simultaneously?
just updated to 24.10.5 firmware so this was a fresh install
wireguard installed and confiugred successfully
adblock installed and configured successfully
then tried to install unbound, tried to reboot and now cant physically or over internet connect
Ideally I would like to be able to do this without needing to SSH in because my ISP's device is hard to get to up high . . . .
As long as you're connected to the OpenWrt lan, you should be able to access it via ssh and/or LuCI (web), assuming nothing has gone wrong with the core system/network config and the respective services.
Maybe you can clarify the physical situation here. Connectivity can be via wifi or ethernet, as long as it's on the OpenWrt lan. I'm not really sure how your ISP device's placement affects your ability to connect to the OpenWrt router, but maybe I'm just missing the context.
essentially I have difficulty going between my "office" and where my modem is - so each time if I need to switch between ethernet connection vs internet connection
it becomes a whole trip to ferry routers and such around unfortunately
I cannot seem to connect through the web browser - but it seems as though I can see the network
after reboot
cannot get internet connection from the network (even though openwrt one was connected to modem, and before attempting to install unbound package I was using its internet to download packages)
cannot connect through GUI (going into browser typing in IP
cannot connect through physical ethernet connection (after bringing router upstairs again and plugging into the ethernet connection (1g not the other port) )
does it seem as though ive ruined some core config or something then?
when attempted to install unbound it seemed there were a few errors (about 4 files seemed to have difficulty downloading? I did not catch a screenshot or anything)
then this is the text that came up with the ip address command on the computer i'm trying to manually ethernet link up with the router
(then i'm trying to upload screenshot of ip address command output - but despite the file being 1.2 mb it claims its 10+mb and I can't upload it
No. Not until we can see your configuration. So broadly speaking I would say a misconfiguration is the culprit, but that doesn’t give you a real reason.
