Hello,
I have an Asus router running Merlin that supports a Wireguard VPN server.
I had it running, and was having no issues. Then I added a Pihole to my setup, and the DNS requests from my WireGuard client (phone) were not making it over and no data would make it back to the client when connected to the Wireguard server.
My router's LAN IP is 10.1.1.1, with a 255.255.255.0 subnet.
The Wireguard's default Adress and Allowed IPs was set to 10.6.0.2/32 (which didn't work)
I changed both to 10.1.1.1/32 instead and now everything seems to work, including Adblocking on my phone when connected to VPN.
Is there any downside to doing this? I admit, I'm still learning and reading guides where I can, subnets and CIDR are still a tad spotty, but everyday I'm playing with this stuff I'm learning more and more.
Appreciate your time.
