GLiNet Services Leak IP?

Privacy Guides Community [Unofficial] May 8, 2026

GLiNet’s Firmware 4.9 is in beta, but this occurs on 4.8 as well. When you create a VPN tunnel through Wireguard, even with Enhanced Kill Switch and the option to specifically “Force GLiNet Services to use the VPN”, this doesn’t appear to be the case for at least the following services: cloudflare time.cloudflare gl-inet fw.gl-inet firmware-api.gl-inet any domain you use nslookup to test These are registered as being accessed by your true IP, despite the Wireguard connection. Any on-device Wireguard configuration successfully cloaks the IP. The router-based configuration as deployed by Gl-inet seemingly does not. Previously I monitored outgoing connections or DNS lookups through anonymized logs. Now switching that off, I see it’s detecting my true IP, which I always want to hide. Could anyone verify the same? Or is this a non-issue? My DNS requests are being done over QUIC to nextdns, it was their logs that provided the IP leak.
