Only caveat with Gl Inet acting as a server is that their config files do not include the FQDN on the gateway, just the IP, so need to change manually before importing to the client. (ie: with the DDNS URL)
I looked at the GL Inet website, and it does seem they support being a server too…
I wonder if their “GL-MT2500 / Brume 2” is worth the extra money as the device to leave at home. It seems it supports fast ethernet, but no wifi, so I could connect directly to my home router. The Mango has 100Mb wired, but > 300 wifi. But the Brume 2 costs triple the Mango.
I wonder what the speeds really come out to be when using like I want…
Edit: Oh, I saw:
https://www.gl-inet.com/products/compare/
and it says Wireguard is max 45 MBps on the Mango, and 50Mbps on the related and similarly priced “Shadow” series, but 355Mbps on the Brume 2.
I suppose if I’m going to connect to home directly from a computer or phone, then the Brume 2 is worth it. Otherwise, Mango to Mango is same speed as Mango to Brume 2… ?
did not quite catch the configuration… what are you trying to set up?
Brume 2 is probably twice the price of a mango 2 (and less than 100 bucks). You don’t need wifi capabilities as it is going to sit as a server connected to your network.
This is how I have it at home, and on the road I either bring a mango or a Beryl and set up the tunneling so I can access my LAN / netflix-at-home with my residential IP.
Thanks, I ordered a Brume 2 for $69 from gl.inet.
Amazon was $20 more expensive. Both were free shipping.
I’ll try it with my Mango, or direct from my phone/tablet.
