VPN Server in Blue Plus in DHCP Mode problems connecting
I''m trying to set up Wireguard.
Set up: Internet > Netgear Router (DHCP Mode disabled) > Firewalla Blue Plus (DHCP Mode)
The primary network is: 192.168.1.x. The overlay network is: 192.168.2.x
Wireguard set up says that I need to set up manual port forwarding. Have tried that on my Netgear Router to IP address of FW Blue Plus in primary network (192.168.1.5) but I can't get a connection.
As per check 5 here it says to port forward to the overlay network, but this isn't possible as netgear interface will not allow port forwarding outside the primary subnet.
How can I resolve this? Thanks

You should port forward to firewalla blue plus IP address. If that does not work, check if you have a public IP. https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360055686674-How-to-see-if-you-have-a-public-IP-address-

So I've set up the port forward to the Blue+ IP address.
Following your link above, yes, the router has a different WAN address to the Firewalla as I am under double NAT because I'm in DHCP mode.So what now? The article just says 'investigate if you are under double NAT'.
I understand from other articles e.g. https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004304114-Everything-about-Firewalla-DHCP-Mode-
That to get around a double NAT problem, I would usually go to the device and set up a port forward rule from the device itself to connect a route from the device back to firewalla... So do I need to do this somehow for the Firewalla box itself?
Confused how to make the VPN Server work in DHCP mode in BluePlus....
