and a wireguard client license! love my ovpn client license, but I have a need for 2 VPN client connections today.

Disagree. I don’t think we should have to pay for a license for WireGuard like we do for OpenVPN. I don’t think we should have to pay for an OpenVPN license either.

This…we shouldn’t need to be paying for using built in features that do not incur 3rd party licensing costs, such as openVPN WAN, additional vWAN’s, etc. Especially when we are already paying for PrimeCare. Or maybe make a PrimeCare Plus perk be all addon’s inclusive.

I will give Peplink some props, they did pretty much eliminate the additional license requirements for basic features on the BR1’s, so I feel some headway is being made.

I think that Wireguard support should be added, 100%, full stop.
As far as paying a licensing fee for it, I understand why Peplink charges for OpenVPN and IPSec connections and I would be willing to bundle it in the same way VPN licenses are charged today (say, via a Care license or independent license over X number of connection) due to the work that was involved to add it.
I do remember a post in here (maybe another thread) that said it was being considered for FW9, but when I asked at the Peplink Summit last November, no one from the Peplink side had any idea, and most of them didn’t know what Wireguard was :frowning:

When could we expect FW v9 to be released? Just purchased a B One 5G and was really hoping to use Wireguard on it. Since this is post is two years after the original, you can see why customers get a little frustrated about the releases.

We have a plan to add this feature after firmware 8.4.2 is released (targeted in Q2’ 2024) for selected models. Stay tuned for more news when firmware 8.4.2 is launched.

Can’t wait to test this out in 8.4.2 :smiley:

@Dylan-e Just to clarify that this is targeted on post 8.4.2, which is going to be a 8.4.2 special build for selected models. :sweat_smile:

Whoops, misread that :smiling_face_with_tear:

While your sales team may not be happy, please can you confirm which models+version will be eligible for the Wireguard build. I was stung by subtle sim injector incompatibility in the past, so need confirmation before purchasing any more units anywhere.

Thank you

Any news on this feature on the Balance Two? I’m using OpenVPN with my provider, but they recommend WireGuard for improved throughput.

Not holding my breath on wireguard. This was posted about a month ago, but since then, bupkus (and we’re beyond beta and onto 8.5.2 RC2).

Would appreciate an updated ETA and which Models will be supported. Thank you,

At this point I would appreciate an official acknowledgement that Peplink does not believe Wireguard support is in its business interests and won’t be pursued.

I would say that their silence since 2024 and slow walking on adding Wireguard over the last 5+ years speaks volumes as to where they stand on it. Everyone I know that uses VPN wouldn’t ever consider buying Peplink routers. In fact I’ve had friends tell me that they think I am crazy for using a router in this day and age that doesn’t have Wireguard at least as an option. I can’t really disagree with them either, since Peplink is probably the only router out there that doesn’t offer it.

Hello, guys…

I wait for a Peplink solution for an year… So I gave up to wait Peplink.

Using a solution with Peplink and other network device, I build a not clean network topology, but simple to keep working. I was able to build a solution capable to support WireGuard, TailScale, Zerotier… and maybe more vpn traffics… I hope. :sunglasses:

It worked for last nine months and using it, I am able to learn and provide support for this new vpn protocols.

Sample for ZeroTier networks.
