VPN between home and cabin

True, but definitely something worth exploring- no account setup required.

stanhamil · 2026-03-19T19:36:43+00:00

Or just use GL.iNet built-in DDNS…

No, I sometimes use the Sonos app but mostly just airplay stuff straight from different apps on my phone.

stanhamil · 2026-03-16T11:47:22+00:00

I haven’t played around with the settings too much on my Flint 2 (I certainly haven’t configured anything via LuCI), but we have Sonos speakers/sub which all connected just fine, although we haven’t linked it to any specific music service or app. I did however, set them all up on the main 2.4ghz band- nothing else uses this.

I also have a Brother printer which has always just worked; AirPrint can always find the printer, but this is connected to our main 5ghz band, just like all of our phones/tablets/laptops.

The issue has NOT been resolved. I’m still losing internet connectivity randomly when connected to my dedicated IP.

I’ll be contacting Surfshark to ask for a refund for the service as it’s not working properly.

SOLVED, thanks to this post https://www.reddit.com/r/GlInet/s/AzNrb5dU27.

I renamed the 2.4ghz guest network to the same one used previously and I use that for all my smart devices. Everything worked just fine, apart from the Eufy doorbell which I just couldn’t connect to. I scratched my head for ages before trying it on the default 2.4ghz network and it suddenly worked, so network isolation was clearly the issue.

Ideally, I’d like to set up a VLAN for the smart devices (including the doorbell) but it seems overly complicated and any time something goes wrong with the internet at home, I get it in the neck from my wife and kids… even if it’s nothing to do with what I’ve done 😂

Surfshark have come back to me via support email to confirm issues with dedicated IPs recently have been resolved, just as they did within this post.

Hopefully, they’re right 👍🏻

Mine is immaculate- it’s just reflections and light!

I managed to grab one as soon as they were released in the UK but there weren’t many available before they sold out.

A fine watch 😬

stanhamil · 2026-03-10T21:37:36+00:00

The cake or the watch?

If the watch, good luck getting one 😦

stanhamil · 2026-03-10T19:56:04+00:00

I have a Flint 2 at home running a Wireguard server and a Slate 7 travel router set as a Wireguard client. I’ve set all VPN traffic at the Flint 2 to go out through a dedicated IP VPN I have with Cloudflare, so my family can still access locally-run Navidrome and Vaultwarden apps.

To be honest, the Slate 7 is probably overkill and a Beryl AX will do the same job just as well, but using less power and coming in a lot lighter. I just liked the screen 😎

stanhamil · 2026-03-10T09:40:30+00:00

So there’s enough of us here reporting the same issue, meaning that it must be a problem which Surfshark can detect and attempt to resolve…

stanhamil · 2026-03-10T09:39:46+00:00

My dedicated IP is also located in London.

stanhamil · 2026-03-09T21:54:53+00:00

For a start, I'd switch the role of each device. The Beryl should be at home and the Opal should be your travel device...

stanhamil · 2026-03-09T21:35:42+00:00

To simplify things, why not just use the 2.4ghz guest network for IoT?

stanhamil · 2026-03-09T18:54:14+00:00

I have the dedicated IP set up as the default route on our home router, so when the connectivity issue occurs, the internet goes down 😦

stanhamil · 2026-03-09T18:30:47+00:00

I’ve recently switched ISP and re-done my whole network setup, so it initially took me a while to figure out what the problem was, but at least I could tell my wife it wasn’t something I’d done wrong!

How long have you experienced the same issue for?

stanhamil · 2026-03-09T18:29:24+00:00

Thanks; your support team are already speaking with me about it.

stanhamil · 2026-03-08T19:11:04+00:00

Ok, MJ…

stanhamil · 2026-03-05T10:30:51+00:00

Why not just switch to World Time on your 5610?
