Router (Flint and Slate) and VPN (Wire Guard) setup and configuration

VPN Forum
1

Hi all, after about 8 hours of setup and troubleshooting, I’m a bit in over my head.

I am trying to setup Flint to connect to the internet via my home modem and to be the VPN server. The VPN appears to be working, but Flint cannot access the internet for some reason. It is physically connected to the modem via ethernet.

I am also trying to setup Slate (travel router) as the VPN client to take with me wherever I go. The VPN configuration file is accepted, but it never actually “starts.”

I was able to setup port forwarding on my home modem for the port that Flint is connected to.

I have tried to follow a few videos for instruction and troubleshoot. At this point I am going in circles and feel very lost. Any support would be wonderfully appreciated.

We need to know the VPN configuration. Wirwguard or openvpn? What’s the port forwarding configuration? Just give all the information up front in an organized form

Yes, I’m trying. The vpn is wireguard.
I’m not sure what port forwarding configuration is. I went on my modem settings and enabled port forwarding.
