Hi,

I installed it on Manjaro XFCE from AUR. My laptop was able to connect as a wifi client and while being access point at the same time. However, devices connected to the access point cannot access the internet, while the laptop itself has internet access.

Can you try it from the command line (create_ap) with bridge connection?

This problem persist in latest version (4.4.0), but also on 4.3.3 and 4.3.2, on up-to-date Manjaro. If running with sudo create_ap wlo1 enp55s0u1u4 'mynetwork' 'mypassword' --freq-band 2.4, it says:

Config dir: /tmp/create_ap.wlo1.conf.s0JKkrNZ
PID: 137596
Network Manager found, set ap0 as unmanaged device... DONE
Creating a virtual WiFi interface... ap0 created.
Sharing Internet using method: nat

dnsmasq: cannot read /tmp/create_ap.wlo1.conf.s0JKkrNZ/dnsmasq.conf: Permission denied

Doing cleanup.. done

Both interfaces exists. I would be very grateful if this can be fixed in some way. Thank you :)

I fixed this issue on manjaro with:

sudo aa-complain -d /etc/apparmor.d/ dnsmasq
