What is the exact part of the NAT section with the errors, and what are the errors?

I am not sure now. I tried the whole guied step by step and it still does not work. Ping goes, but dns does not work as expected. I applied the guide to fresh reset my Mikrotik 7.21 with default AP configuration, 192.168.88.0 network.

I don't know what breaks routing or dns queries.

I have tested the current Mikrotik setup steps on a RouterOS 7.21.3 system using two different private address spaces:

  • 10.0.0.0/24
  • 192.168.88.0/24

Both WireGuard connections were successful.

There are minimal differences between the guide for 7.19.1 and 7.21.3. In the "Configuring WireGuard interface and peer" section, skip steps 6 and 7 because the interface is created automatically. In the "Configuring Routing and Firewall" section's step 5, use %wg1 instead of wg1 for the gateway.

You might consider using the IVPN App or a manual WireGuard connection on a computer system to determine the connection settings, like the VPN server and port, that are working for the conditions between your location and our VPN servers, then use those settings in the router to see if the connection is successful.

OK, I will try again with my wg server and if it fails I will try IVPN account
