Odkrys' thread about Wireguard is older than six months, so I can't ask this question there, otherwise I would.
The thread mainly concerns RT-AC86U and RT-AX88U but they recently added RT-AX58U (armv7l, 4.1.52) files to the first post, which I would be willing to test.
I'm not quite sure how to go about it, though, as I'm not super used to Linux. I don't mind it, I'm just not that experienced, but willing to learn.
I do have Merlin 384.19 installed on my RT-AX58U, with amtm 3.1.8 and entware 1.0-2 installed using the splendid guide by L&LD.
I gather that the .ko module could be imported using insmod, but is this the proper way? Would that make it survive a reboot (together with the nat-start script in jffs)?
Where would I place the compiled wg tool, unless there is a command for installing those? Does it go in the jffs partition somewhere, or is there a standard place like /opt/bin to store tools without packages?
After that, would I just add/create the .conf files manually, or do I need additional user space tools (not included in the wg file)?
Alternatively, would I be better off compiling an .ipk on my own, and if so -- could I do that by installing the linux headers for 4.1.52 on an Ubuntu VM and compiling wireguard there, or would I need the asuswrt-merlin repo as well? I don't mind doing this, I'm just a bit lost as to what is the right way to go about things.
Sorry this turned into a general support request, but if anyone could clarify for me which things I need to do, and which things I shouldn't do, I might be able to google my way to the details regarding how. Thankful for any pointers!
