Hi all, I’ve just set up a home vpn using Flint 2+wireguard as server and beryl ax as my travel router. I’ve tried everything, but my work site won’t load and even reddit doesn’t open. All other sites seem to work. How is my work and even reddit detecting my vpn?? I thought the flint home vpn was failproof 
. Help pls!!
My wifi is Comcast Xfinity. I had to set up port forwarding to get the flint 2 working if that means anything. I’ve seen some people say using the default port number may be an issue.
Resolved: Found out the issue was the hotspot I was connecting/testing the client with - Mint Mobile!! Mint piggback’s on T-Mobile’s network, and that likely had something to do with the issue. Anyways I connected direct with a t-mbobile’s hotspot and it worked perfectly! Phew! Thank you everyone
Would like to help you but all this is very vague. It really does work. I have hundreds of clients working the way you are describing without issue.
Can you be more specific on your issues?
"reddit is detecting vpn’ that mean your are connected to a 3rd party VPN service (or something that is hosted in a cloud like digital ocean) and not your own Home network VPN. Otherwise why I reddit would block you.
You need to set up a wireguard server on your home router which is Flint 2. And create a wire guard profile for your travel router and set up that profile in your travel router by uploading that config file to your VPN server.
Default port (51820) should not be an issue on Xfinity. I use this on my Xfinity setup. Does your work have a VPN it connects to? If so, please give us the name. Also, usually when certain sites won’t load, it’s a DNS issue. I have recommended DNS settings I give everyone (incl. my customers) near the bottom of this page.
It’s also possible you have a LAN subnet conflict because Xfinity uses 10.0.0.X and the Wireguard server IP on the GL.iNet defaults to 10.0.0.1. You would need to change this to something like 10.1.0.1.
Perhaps it is a DNS issue?
Do you have NetSkope in your working laptop?
Funny that the other sites seems to work.
Enable the kill switch, ALWAYS, and ALWAYS VPN on! Then, try to visit all the websites you want and report which one “blocks” you. After that, go to ipleak.net and My IP Address - BrowserLeaks and tell us if the IP you see is the IP at your home where the server belongs
Apologies…please let me know what other info I can add. I did a basic installation as described here and on a number of YouTube videos. All my usual sites are loading except reddit and my work site. They only load when I turn off wireguard
I did all that as my post said. Not sure what I’m missing
It’s a personal laptop. The issue is even Reddit is detecting the vpn so it’s not just my workplace. I have a major leak
Found out the issue was the hotspot I was testing the client with - Mint Mobile!! Tested with a t-mbobile’s hotspot and it worked perfectly! Thanks for your help
How do I determine what my ISP uses to see if it’s the same as Xfinity?
I guess it may be as the ddns test keeps failing
No I don’t. It’s a personal laptop I use for work
Thank you so much for your help. After over 24 hours of pulling my hair out, I found out the issue was the hotspot I was testing the client with - Mint Mobile!! Tested with a t-mbobile’s hotspot and it worked perfectly!
Let’s start with the symptoms… what makes you say they are “detecting your VPN”?
Have you done any “what’s my IP,” or dnsleak
tests?
Just go to the network settings of any device that is connected to your network. You’ll see the private LAN IP address which will mostly like start with 192.168. or 10.0.
Ok so NetSkope isn’t the problem
When I turn off “Block non-vpn traffic” under Global options, I can’t access reddit.com or my work site. Also I’ve just done a ddns test and it failed, saying my ip address is not the same as the WAN IP and suggesting I do port forwarding. I’ve already done all that port forwarding ealier on my xfinity box using the default flint2 port of 51820…so not sure why I’m still getting that suggestion.
After port forwarding the network kept tripping off till I set the wireguard server from 1/24 to 20/24 to match the reserved ip address automatically assigned when I did the port forwarding.
Sorry…a bit of a newbie to this set up. I’m basically following tutorials all over the place. Thanks!!
I see. Thanks. When you say xfinity uses 10.0.x.x do you mean if you’re using xfinity hardware (router) or it doesn’t matter?
