Hi everybody,
I plan to use openwisp to provide Internet access in a community centre in a rural area in Spain. The access point´s will be installed in the community centre itself, but the openwisp server will be in a virtual machine hosted on my Synology NAS at home.
Consequently I plan to use wireguard to get the devices to reach the server.
I managed to deploy the server on Ubuntu 24.04 and to register two access points that, for the time being, are connected to my home network.
These two devices are registered but following ping checks fail.
The wireguard network is 10.8.0.0/24 and the server is given 10.8.0.1, whereas the access points are given 10.8.0.2 and 10.8.0.3.
Although the server and the devices can ping each other in the home network 192.168.0.0/24, they are unable to ping each other via wireguard.
The problem seems to be a routing one, but I´m not sure to tweak the routing table of the server without asking first; if it was such an evident problem, it would be covered in the guides, wouldn´t it?
If I don´t find a solution, I will have to revert to installing the server in the community centre and not using VPN´s.
Regards,
Iván Ledesma Obelar

When trying to anticipate following steps, I met some problems when trying to install the wifi login pages using this ansible role: https://github.com/openwisp/ansible-openwisp-wifi-login-pages
Specifically I met an error regarding nodejs: it appears that the role is unable to add nodejs 16.x ppa for apt repo because the repository on https://deb.nodesource.com/node_16.x has no Release file.
Should I make my own ppa? Should I use a newer version of nodejs?
Thank you Federico for such a good disposition.
Thanks to your feedback I tried deleting additional vpn interfaces in the server, deactivating zones in the firewall and manually defining the server as a peer for each of the Openwrt devices; that enabled me to contact the devices from the server.
I still have to install the devices in the network of the community centre, deploy a wireguard server with ssl certificate and check if I still can reach the devices.
