I'm having issues with NordVPN Wireguard setup in Asus Merlin 3006.102.5 on my Asus GT-AX11000 pro and I posted about it in the main FW thread, then was asked by @MDM and @bennor to make a new thread with settings since it's likely a config issue. Sorry it took so long to get back to you guys - I went on a 2wk holiday right after my last post and just got back this week.
Summary - after a factory reset, I change six things from factory default - radio names/pw, admin login l/p, internal IP address (192.168.1.1), DNS servers (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1), create a VPN Director rule to allow WG for all devices, upload the Nord WG config file to my router, and then set the Wireguard config to killswitch and then click Enable WG Client. Every time, WG works great for some period of time (from minutes to as much as 24hrs) and then dies and won't let me connect to the internet, not even after changing to OVPN, without a reboot. Rinse, repeat. OVPN works flawlessly by itself, though, but is limited to about 200mbps and I have 500/500 fiber, which is why I want to use WG.
This has been bothering me for weeks and I could use your help.
I've attached an example of one of my Nord server WG configs with private key redacted, a pic of the WG settings in the Merlin fw with private key redacted, and a recent log after performing the steps above and then rebooting and enabling WG until it dies. I'm not using DDNS and have only made the changes noted above from a fresh factory reset. I'm not the most savvy networking guy, but I can learn, so with a little patient help I can provide any details you need.
Thank you!
