Set Up Secure VPN in Minutes with GL.iNet Routers!

[@FidelitySoundz]

I’ve had the slate axt1809 since 2022. Really handy device when traveling. Being in IT for the past 17 years, I’ve been to a ton of conferences. I’ve always bring my own router. lol. Bring it on vacations as well. Great device!!!

[@SecurityEnetPoker]

I bought both but ..... when you are in the hotel you have WIFI password not the cable... how to solve that?

[@FidelitySoundz]

@ most hotels I stay are wifi only. This device bridges its upstream connection to the hotel wifi and you connect to the ap on the routers wifi.

[@preo2nd]

The crucial step is that you need to set up port forwarding on your isp router Take the ip address from the internet dashboard on your Flint internet dashboard, and it's literally called ip address and finally set the public or private port to 51820. It's also called internal and external. It usually is a range, so duplicate the port number. Protocol is either all or tcp/udp. Remote ip address can be any, and dont worry its safe since you need a key to access it.

[@travelwilder]

i did all that, client does not connect no matter what, whats my mess ?

[@preo2nd]

@travelwilder you may have to post the log error. If you want, you can post your isp router brand and model number, too. Can't promise anything but worth a try.

[@travelwilder]

@@preo2nd I got everything to work somehow. The only problem I have is DDNS does not work. i have already enabled port fwding for the server IP address with 51820 port. Not sure what is my mistake here.

[@preo2nd]

@travelwilder ddns setting is just a toggle button on the flint 2. It could be that the ddns provider set up on the Flint 2, maybe not allowed on your network. Try setting it up with another isp and see if it works. If it works then that's probably the issue is. Btw i also realized he missed one more thing. Every time a router restarts the private Ip updates. So, the port forwarding, we set up becomes useless. Dhcp reservation on isp router also needs to be set up in order to prevent that private Ip from being updated every time the router restarts.

[@travelwilder]

@@preo2nd But why do you have to port forward ? i have done that from my gateway, how do I test if the port forwarding is done right or not ?

[@alexberenshtein4878]

[@jnardone]

I think most people are connecting their GLiNet router to their existing cable/fiber internet router so they need port forwarding set up. Can you please include that.

This is not very helpful without the port forwarding info. Agreed.

I love their products, the only thing better than their VPN support is their support for zerotier. I love that service and I have access to all my systems while on the road without having to open up a single inbound port to support it.

[@goodcitizen4587]

Great vid! In Daytona Beach FL area Metronet 2GB service ($75/mo) on the Flint2 2.5Gbps WAN port. I use the 2.5Gbps LAN port into a 5 port 2.5Gbps LAN switch for all my clients. Also has 4 1GB ports, I use one of those for my cheapo 8 port 1GB switch for my many non 2.5Gb devices.

[@feo786]

Maybe should also mention what get routed through the VPN by default? Does all traffic go through or just traffic destined for the remote subnet. With a manual Wireguard config, the AllowedIPs setting determines that, 0.0.0.0/0 means all traffic goes through the tunnel whilst something like 192.168.0.0/24 means only traffic to and from that subnet goes through the tunnel.

[@mabbaticchio]

[@donesy125]

Hi Crosstalk Solutions. Thank yo so much for your great explanation! You´re really clear! One question: I´d like to know if seting up this scenario, would it be possible (and how) to get THE SAME PUBLIC IP of the main router (the wireguard server), on the travel router (the wireguard client); so as to be able to use my tv streaming platforms accounts (Netflix, Flow, etc) when I am abroad (that platforms restrict the usage only to local ip´s). Thanks in advance!

[@lauraandalex]

Great video. I've got a GL.iNet Slate Plus which connects back to my Unifi Dream Machine Pro. I take this with me whenever staying away, and therefore get to connect to the internet securely from my home IP address wherever I am in the world. 🙂

[@PluPerfective]

does it do network segmentation?

[@citionriver]

VPN connection never gets established and the light never turns green. Did you miss any step for initial set up?

[@retiredandroaming]

Very clear and informative, even for a network noob like myself, thank you! I do have a question, though...if I'm understanding this Wireguard VPN connection correctly, it is a secure way to access the LAN devices on your home network, from the remote location, but if one is sitting in a hotel , say, overseas, and one wants to connect to the Internet through a VPN like Proton VPN, do you then setup the Proton VPN client on the Home router (in your case, the Flint 2) and would all internet traffic from your remote overseas location then flow back home and out to the Internet through your home VPN Client to Proton servers, OR.....would it be better to simply setup the Proton VPN client on the remote (Beryl) router, assuming one does not need anything on your home LAN? I'd think the latter would be much faster with less latency, assuming I'm talking any sense at all! :) Hope my question is clear!

[@macuser1232]

It would definitely be better to have a VPN closer to your actual location if you can. The main reason people set up their own VPN at home is either to access devices on their home network (as you said), or make it look like they're working from home as normal to their employer.

[@perlz06]

you should mention how to connect the travel router to a hotel w/ a captive portal. many hotels have captive portals so you'd have to get around that by cloning the MAC address of your phone/laptop onto the router so that you can by pass the captive portal via the travel router.

Great video!! I do have a question though, I got a yellow light on the VPN dashboard instead of a green… any fixes or steps I need to repeat to get a green light? Thanks

@Crosstalk Solution - I am having issue connecting from client to server, followed step by step process with the same device. it's showing connecting from client SLate Router, it's unable to make a successful connection to server (Flinr2). Please help.

[@tamralipti]

When I create this set up using ISP, it works, however when I Use tethering(using USB Dongle), the hostname doesnt resolve. Guessing this is because sim cards don't come which a dedicated IP address. Can someone please help understand what changes shall I do to ensure server is reachable. The set up of the wireguard server is reachable when I connect the repeater (home broadband) but same doesnt work with tethering. please please help.

@ I can make it work using wifi (via ISP) provider but not yet with tethering

Will the GL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) work instead of the GL.iNet GL-A1300 (Slate Plus), along with the FLint 2 ? Please reply as I need to order them ?

[@jeffmarshall5089]

Hello, I followed all the instructions (which were terrific) for my GL AX-1800 Slate 1 and the GL-A1300 Slate Plus (travel router). I'm using Wireguard and have green lights on both sides, yet, on the travel router I have no internet while on the VPN. Upon disabling the VPN on the travel router I have interent. Any guidance appreciated. Tx.

had issues setting my up, luckily my friend work in Networking. He was able to set mines up. After he did it, I noticed how easy it actually is. Let me know if I can help

[@aaronsantos1791]

​@@saiynbrosxxyeahxx2258 hey there, I had a bit of an issue on the last step: at the 16:45 mark he clicks on “start” which is to turn on the VPN and he waits for it to turn green. For me I hit start but it never turns green and it actually cuts the internet access at that moment. The travel router goes in and our but not consistent

[@timspero]

Does all internet traffic get tunneled through the home base connection or is it split tunnel? Thanks!

[@wyattsullivan2714]

Thanks for the video. I have a question regarding this pair of models. Did you test this setup with the Flint 2 connected to the T-Mobile Home Internet? From what I've read, it is possible to connect another router to the T-Mobile gateway with an extra NAT layer, but I'm wondering what that setup is like and how bad the speed reduction is. Thanks

[@martinrios214]

Do you happen to have any other recommendations for home routers other than the Flint 2? I wanted something with faster speeds and with wireguard enabled as well.

[@goodcitizen4587]

Good question. I'm using this now with Metronet 2GB service on the 2.5Gbps WAN port, and the 2.5gbps LAN port into a 2.5g lan switch. But faster cpu would be nice, but connectivity is high speed.

[@KatySei]

Can the Routers be used as a NAS?

[@Imperium_DI]

How do I work abroad(from US to Philippines) with my laptop that has my company's VPN installed on it, without my company noticing the change of my location and the location (and IP address) of the new router I will need to use for internet connection? Will this work? Thank you so much to anyone who will help me.

[@vigneshraja3771]

Whats the max speed as wireguard server from Flint 2? Would Flint 2 be better as a wg server than Slate AX? How much would the difference be if so?

[@CSX7450]

Did he explain how to set up the open port for the main provider modem? I think he missed explaining that part.

[@macuser1232]

This varies based on router/ISP.

[@lokeshkokku9406]

I have few questions on this. I am trying to route all my traffic through my home ip. My ofc laptop uses netskope and F5 vpn for connection. 1. Can they detect my geo location using the above setup? 2. In case of my vpn connection disconnects on my travel router does it connect to hotel wifi leaking my geo location? 3.I am hoping by using above connection i can retain my home ip (either static or dynamic).

What a great video. Thank you for all the information and the step-by-step instructions. So if I did, this, and I used my travel router in, for example, Mexico, would my Internet traffic from Mexico appear as if I’m actually back home in the US? Also, do I have to use the GLI net brand of router at home, or can I use my existing Netgear for the VPN server part?
