ioannis I dont need external client.
I am not yet understanding what it is on your 4a that is not working. Can you provide a list of steps you take leading up to the problem? Something like:
- Turn phone on.
- Use PIN to unlock.
- Tap on ...
- Then tap on ...
- Then I get this exact error message: ...
It's OK to redact host names or IP addresses.
hello!i have always used the service off my router (fritzbox) to connect with vpn from my smartphone to my home.in the last update of fritzos (router firmware) they embedded in the router wireguard.and that made it even easier to setup vpn connection to the smartphone.the last time I wanted to connect (a month ago) i.e. connect from my 4a somewhere with vpn to my home with wireguard ,the error (which I mentioned earlier) come's up.but my wife's phone connects just fine with exact the same way.
1.unlock my phone
- use wireguard app to actived connection
3.error massage ("Error bringing up tunnel.unable to resolve DNS host 1234567890123.myfritz.net)
P.S. I did a little research to see if I could make some adjustments to the router and i turn off the IPv6 since then i dont get anymore error massage But the connection can't be made.

I don't know the router you mentioned. But have you tried setting up a completely new Wireguard connection in the router?
A quick search yielded this hit, hopefully it will help you:
