WireGuard vpn setup

[diafanos]

Hello, how can i setup a vpn through WireGuard. I use a configuration file with no success. Do i miss something?

Open vpn reduces my speeds a lot.

Thanks in advance!

Who's your VPN provider? Have you downloaded their Wireguard VPN configuration files or are you trying to use the OpenVPN files? If so, unfortunately that won't work.

vpn provider is SurfShark and i use the wireguard configuration file. If i use the OpenVPN file works but the speeds are too slow.

OK, can you paste the config file here so we can check it? Make sure you remove the Private key and the public key before posting it though.

Try this instead please and see if it works :

[Interface]

Address= 10.14.0.2

PrivateKey= replace with your key

ListenPort =51820

dns = 162.252.172.57,149.154.159.92

 

[Peer]

PublicKey= replace with your key

AllowedIPs =0.0.0.0/0

Endpoint = it-rom.prod.surfshark.com:51820

Unfortunately, it fails.

[diafanos]

I tried this with another server and it shows that i have been connected but it seems that doesn't work.

[Netduma Fraser]

Doesn't work in what way, doesn't change your IP? How have you added your device to the VPN?

[diafanos]

I added the device to the VPN Traffic tab. Strange thing: I rebbot the router and it seems that i connected to the server (I test it in "What's My IP Address") but now i have no inernet  🤪🤪🤪

[Netduma Fraser]

No internet on all devices or just that device? Do you get internet back if you disable the VPN?

[diafanos]

No internet to the devices that connected to vpn.

When i desable vpn internet is back.

[Netduma Fraser]

Can you provide a screenshot of the VPN page please with how you have it set when they don't have internet?

[diafanos]

sure...

 

[Netduma Fraser]

Thanks for that, so just to clarify, you can check online that your IP address has changed, so Google/IP check website works but no other sites?

[diafanos]

yes. This forum also works (and some other websites...) but there are sites that dont load.

[diafanos]

I tried a speedtest via my ps5 and shows that has internet but it can't connect to Playstation Network.

It fails to show my download speed but it shows my upload speed. how crazy is that...

[Netduma Fraser]

Okay interesting, on the VPN Setup panel click the  icon and you should see options for DNS, for IPv4, enter your VPN DNS in there: 

162.252.172.57
149.154.159.92

then apply, and see whether everything then works please.

[diafanos]

Same result. There is room only for 1 DNS(i put the first one).

I reboot and noticed that the router puts the DNS to the IPv6 DNS Server(without dots.) I erase it but still the same... 

[Netduma Fraser]

Could you disable Adblocker please and see if the other sites load? That's the only thing that could be blocking website specifically

[diafanos]

It was already disabled... My Tv has no internet also.

[Netduma Fraser]

Given it is working for some websites/services I suspect that others have blocked the VPN IPs and that is why you cannot access the services. Use another server and you'll have a new IP and that may work, otherwise it might be best to try another provider.

[diafanos]

ok.. I will try that. Thank you very much for your answers!!!!! You guys are the BEST!!!
