Can you provide the config (minus keys) you obtained from Surfshark and the config you're currently trying to use (minus keys) please?

[faceman469]

[Netduma Fraser]

Is that the one they gave you as it seems to be using the same DNS and address - if it is then you need to add the listen port option and take the /16 option off the address line and then try again with your keys

[faceman469]

Ok will try tomorrow and let you know

[faceman469]

Still a no go with the changes🫤

[Netduma Fraser]

Could you try with a different server/config (adjust the config to match the template) and try again please?

[faceman469]

In this pic I saw I had listenport in the wrong space and corrected it.Still no vpn connected

[Netduma Fraser]

Is it still saying no VPN configured when you try to connect?

[faceman469]

Yup no vpn connected

I think you may need to do a reboot, then retry or if that doesn't work, a factory reset and then try again. I believe it's got itself into a weird state and can't tell when you've entered VPN details.

[faceman469]

Well got this error and now I have no internet 😒tried to factory reset and it's just stuck

[Netduma Fraser]

How did you do the factory reset initially? Hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then wait 2 minutes before accessing the interface

[faceman469]

I did it in the router. Everything is cool now😎 I think I'm going to create a whole new set of keys. Don't want to try it now because I have wireguard setup on my travel router at work and don't want to chance accidentally disconnecting that while I'm home.

Great, let us know how you get on!

If your wireguard connections says connected but you can't access any sites or just some sites you need to manually change the mtu settings in your config file, here is an example template:

 

You can change the number to try and get the best results.

 

[Interface]

mtu = 1380

Address = 10.2.0.2

PrivateKey = yourprivatekey

ListenPort =51820

dns = 1.1.1.1.,2.2.2.2

 

[Peer]

PublicKey = yourpublickey

AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0

Endpoint = your.endpointvpn.com:51820

Have you tried another provider just in case the services you want block the VPN you're currently using?

[diafanos]

Unfortunately no. I have subscription with SurfShark vpn which "support" WireGuard configuration.... If someone manages to work it out with any other vpn provider please let me know.

 

[Netduma Fraser]

They can support it but they can't prevent services blocking their known VPN IP addresses, some providers offer a free trial in which case you could try it to see if that is the problem with no monetary obligation.

[diafanos]

If that is the case, is there any way to solve it?

No that is controlled by the service, e.g. Netflix, you would just need to find a VPN that hasn't been blocked by the affected services.

I don't know if it's irrelevant, but I have no internet at all to the devices that are connected to vpn. Not only Netfix, iptv etc.

Can you download the Wireguard Desktop client and verify that the exact config you're using in Hybrid VPN is working in the desktop client?
