Unable to Connect to VPN via OpenWrt/Wireguard on WiFi

Question

I am having issues connecting via WireGuard on OpenWRT wirelessly.

I have followed ALL instructions on AzireVPN's website except for Firewall Zones settings, which I had to set as follows for it to work (it wouldn't work at all with their settings, not even via Ethernet):

Now, here's what I have for my wireless settings, maybe you can shed some light so I can get this to work via WiFi:

Please note under Interface Configuration > Network there is no wg interface to choose from, I am unsure if this has anything to do with the issue:

Another bit of crucial information, my current (physical) network setup is as follows:

• Main DSL line connected to ISP router/modem
• OpenWRT router with WireGuard VPN installed connected via WAN to ISP router in ETH0 port.
• As you can see on one of the screenshots above, OpenWRT router's Mode is Access Point, ISP Modem/Router has DHCP activated.

As highlighted above, the issue is I am unable to get this to work via WiFi, it works via Ethernet when connected to OpenWRT router though.

Many thanks in advance!

Answer 1

so I've been struggling with this very same issue, I tried several guides and whatnot to do this, probably this is due to the fact that I'm quite an stranger to networking, anyway it turns out I overlooked the fact that curl and ca-bundle need to be installed, after that the connection was routed through wireguard.
