AstroWarp

Note: This guide covers the new version of AstroWarp.

The legacy AstroWarp, while visible in the web Admin Panel, relied on a standalone AstroWarp platform to establish remote network connections. See here for documentation on the legacy AstroWarp.

By contrast, the new AstroWarp is integrated into the GL.iNet router SDK. It adopts the AmneziaWG protocol with built-in traffic obfuscation, delivering stable and secure connections for reliable remote access anytime, anywhere.

This feature enables seamless remote access to your home network. You can directly set up and pair devices via a dynamic access code in the web Admin Panel, quickly establishing a secure connection between your travel router and home network in just seconds, with no registration or login required.

Note:

  1. It is not recommended to use AstroWarp with any of the following features at the same time, as this may cause routing conflicts: GoodCloud Site to Site, ZeroTier, Tailscale, Tor.
  2. When AstroWarp is enabled, the Network Mode cannot be used.

Quick Setup

In the following example, we'll use Flint 3 (GL-BE9300) and Slate 7 (GL-BE3600) to set up an AstroWarp network.

Flint 3 will act as the home router, while Slate 7 will act as the travel router that routes network traffic back to Flint 3 for Internet access.
