Wireguard Is Wireguard available on AC86u on merlin?

[ASadani]

Hi All,

I'm a bit confused. Did wireguard get ported to the latest merlin firmware for the AC86u? I had tested it on the AX88U and it worked well. but I want to use it on the 86u

For HND routers (Im not familier with AC86u - not sure it’s HND) running the latest 386.4 betas (2 or 3), the kernel module (wireguard.ko) and the application “wg” are now installed.
There is no wq-quick installed. There is one available in Entware.

@RMerlin recently included the necessary WireGuard Kernel/User Space Tools modules in the v386.4 Beta firmware for supported models

i.e. RT-AC86U

e  = Exit Script [?]

E:Option ==> ?

    Router RT-AC86U Firmware (v3.0.0.4.386.4_beta1)

    [✔] Entware Architecture arch=aarch64


    v4.14b5 WireGuard Session Manager (Change Log: https://github.com/MartineauUK/wireguard/commits/dev/wg_manager.sh)
    MD5=f455fb242431f903599e7930858220c6 /jffs/addons/wireguard/wg_manager.sh

    [✔] WireGuard Kernel module/User Space Tools included in Firmware (1.0.20210124)

although 3rd-Party (compatible Entware .ipk packaged) modules have been available since May 2021, and more recently @ZebMcKayhan has compiled Dec. 2021 versions to override the Jan. 2021 firmware versions as currently used by ASUS in their RC-3 Beta.

However, currently, there is no GUI in the @RMerlin Firmware to create/configure/manage the WireGuard interfaces; you will need to use a custom script.

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply. Any ETA as to when the gui be ported. Or is there a sample script that can be put in the init start to activate the wireguard interface?
