Describe the Bug
i'm trying to get a basic wireguard tunnel working, the connected client would be a openwrt router.
the tunnel connects just fine but i can not make resources accessible via this tunnel.
i've checked all firewall settings but can not find the issue, i suspect a missconfiguration on pangolins side maybe?
Environment
To Reproduce
setup basic wireguard tunnel, add wireguard to openwrt, set input to accept of wireguard zone in firewall settings, create new resource in pangolin dashboard and point to openwrt wireguard ip address port 80
try to access newly created resource
Expected Behavior
if i accept incomming connections on the wireguard interface in openwrt as test and point pangolin to that adress and port 80 i expect to see the openwrt web interface but instead i get a "Gateway Timeout" error.
the tunnel is shown as connected in pangolin and openwrt, there is a bit of traffic going through (a few packets rx and tx per minute)

It's difficult for us to reproduce an issue that requires us spending time getting an openwrt router online and all the pitfalls it may have reproducing.
This may be caused by the OpenWRT interface only binding to certain address ranges on the router itself. Could you check which interfaces it's bound too as port 80 might not be reachable from the wireguard tunnel ip.
also check #2341 to ensure you got the right ip of the tunnel

Hey, sorry, didnt really have time to tinker with this...
the openwrt web interface should be reachable through the wireguard interface, i've not set the webinterface to only be bound to specific interfaces. port forwards dont work either.
i've used the wireguard IP address shown in the openwrt webinterface for the pangolin configuration, no other IP in that subnet is working.
i'm new to wireguard but would like to help you debug this, could you recommend any steps for troubleshooting this issue?

Did you checked the routing in OpenWrt? I did a Pangolin <- WireGuard -> Server setup and have seen, there is a missing route into the tunnel. Need to add tihs manually and then it worked.
