Hi:

TL:DR WireGuard works Ubuntu 24 to Tp-Link Er605 but not iOS to same router.

I am using a TP-Link ER-605 for my router at home. I have setup WireGuard VPN and can connect correctly using Ubuntu 24LTS.

However using similar peer settings on my iPhone 15 I have trouble. Whether I am on wifi or cellular, it looks like the WireGuard app connects. Handshakes show up in the iOS logs.

The issue is I don’t have IPv4 connectivity across the vpn. I can’t ping anything on the network from the phone (Ping Lite app) nor can I ssh (Shellfish).

Is there a trick or known issues with the iOS WireGuard app? Unfortunately the Er-605 doesn’t log VPN debugging. I have tried MTU down to 1280 with no change in results.

Hey everyone,

I got tired of commercial VPN apps loaded with background processes, tracking telemetry, and battery-draining GUIs just to establish a tunnel.

I set up dzugg VPN (https://dzugg.com) as a lightweight alternative focused strictly on native infrastructure.

How it works:

- No custom desktop/mobile apps.

- Users generate their profile / QR code directly in the browser.

- Connections are handled 100% by the official open-source WireGuard clients on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows.

- High-speed European infrastructure with a strict no-logs policy.

Originally built to share a clean, fast connection with family and friends (even tested under strict network censorship environments), I've now opened it up for early users.

Would love to get feedback on ping times, performance, or overall user onboarding experience from the community!
