I have a RUTX08 router that I'm trying to set up as a client to connect to a WireGuard VPN server (Mullvad).

The device arrived with a very old firmware that I successfully upgraded to the latest one: RUTX_R_00.07.02.7

(Worth noting that I could only update it by uploading the firmware file as it wouldn't download it directly from the server and after the update I had to factory reset the router because it wouldn't let me log in: forever spinning wheel, even after multiple reboots. Anyway, now it's online again.)

I opened Services / VPN / WireGuard, entered a name in the "New configuration name" field and clicked "Add".

A popup appears with the details, the section "WireGuard interface" is filled, but there are no fields where I could enter any Endpoint or DNS or interface address.

What am I missing?

Hello,

You need to add at least one peer to your Wireguard configuration look at "ADD NEW INSTANCE" at the end of the popup.

Please reboot the router to be sure to clear the counters and redo the previous test the errors may be due to older operations.

Sure. This is right after reboot:

Good the errors above were from previous tests there is no obvious decryption issues in the descending direction. However that doesn't tell why the replies are lost. Can you access statistics on the Mullvad side ? Could you enable Masquerading again and redo the test ?

I decided to start afresh and did a factory reset. I've posted my steps here. Still not working. Any help appreciated.
