I’m trying to set up remote access to my home network using WireGuard VPN on my RT-BE88U, and I’d appreciate any help.
When the router is running only the WireGuard VPN server, everything works fine — I can connect remotely from multiple clients (Android, Windows laptop, etc.) without issues.
The problem starts when I also enable the router’s VPN Client (I’m using Windscribe). As soon as the VPN Client is active, all my remote clients connected through the WireGuard server lose internet access and can’t reach anything on my home network.
Up to AsusMerlin firmware version 3006.102.3, I was able to make this work using a simple VPN Director rule, but I haven’t been able to achieve the same behavior on newer versions. I’m not an expert, but I believe this setup falls under what’s commonly called VPN cascading — and it seems I’m no longer able to configure it successfully.
I know that using something like Tailscale can help me acheive my goal but I would rather be able to set this up using my own VPN tunnel.
I’ve asked about this in a few other threads but haven’t received a reply, so I’m posting a new thread to confirm whether what I’m trying to do is still possible on current firmware versions (I am currently on 3006.102.6_beta2). Any guidance or configuration tips would be greatly appreciated.
