I stress that I do not want to use a dynamic DNS, mostly because I do not want to put anyone technically not needed in the chain of trust of my traffic. My plan is to use the address remote.it generates to point my wireguard config on android to use that and change it everytime I decide to use Wiregaurd editing the Wireguard config on the client.
Oh I had no idea I needed omv-extras, now I just installed it and I was able to install the wireguard service, is it better to use this add-on for a small office or better to install it manually from console by apt install wireguard? is it the same?
In any case it's just a GUI problem. I have checked the configuration file of that new client in /etc/wireguard and the DNS parameter is correctly configured, as it appears when pressing the Client Config button in the GUI. So it's just a display problem, not a function problem.
I'm working on a similar project, and my conclusion is that you're better off keeping all configuration inside your own database, and completely skipping wireguard config files for the peer setup. You might still want to use the wireguard config file for the [Interface] section, which my example below uses. But you could do that programmatically too, should you need to.
So to repeat the example, if the configuration for interface wg0, usually used with wg-quick is in /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf (or any other Distribution-specific place) and a [Peer] section was just added (resp. removed) to this file, to make this peer available (resp. not available anymore) without disrupting communication with already configured peers, then run as root in a bash shell:
hello all, I recently tried to activate a mullvad vpn connection using wireguard
I installed the wireguard-tools and wireguard-lts module since I'm using the lts kernel.
After following all the steps for activating the connection that are shown on the wiki:
the connection fails after issuing the last command
Hope you can help me with lab issue. I setup a lab with 2 pfsense configured to have a site to site wireguard vpn. The tunnel works computers in site A can talk to computer site B via ICMP. The only issue is, I setup a DC in Site A with DHCP and there is a DHCP client computer in site B. DHCP client cannot receive any DHCP IP. If I move DHCP client into site A but on a different VLAN, DHCP relay works on that separate VLAN.
I did a fresh installation of freedombox and updated it manually. The update appears to be successful. The first application I set about setting up was wireguard. I set everything up as it should and as it was before but for some reason the client device cannot access the internet. I know how it should be set up to have access because I used it before the update. I will attach pictures. I guess the problem is related to network or firewall settings.

I have look at my Allowed Client set up page to see if there a general different. What stands out is that the Server endpoints: as been left Blank but on my Desktop machine I have the the Server endpoints: set to the url of my wireguard server.
When using dig, make sure to set the resolver to the DNS value set in your wireguard config file. it looks like you might be using the DNS server (fdaa:0:18::3) from the Fly documentation, which is probably not (but could be!) the dns server set in your wireguard configuration.
I have a vyos router used for an sdwan to bond 3 connections together. When the client device reboots or its wireguard tunnels are reset, they often cant reconnect even though i see packets in tcpdump on the sdwan vyos side. However no traffic is returned to the client.
Ive found that a simple reboot of the vyos router allows all 3 interfaces to connect instantly. I have another router that acts as a hub in a wireguard hub/spoke WAN for several sites running the same version as this sdwan router that doesnt experience this issue.
The configuration for the sdwan is very simple, just some basic firewall rules, ospf over wireguard and the three wireguard interfaces as well as cake qos for each egress queue. The client to the sdwan router connects to the hub router wireguard through the bonded wireguard tunnels with a smaller mtu, there are no issues reconnecting as long as the sdwan tunnels are up.
I followed these instructions: -to-set-up-wireguard-on-pfsense/ Opens a new window. I am still not able to connect to my wireguard server running on my pfsense box. I am running pfsense v2.6.0 CE. Wireguard installed package version is 0.1.6_2. I am trying to connect from my android phone using the Wireguard app.
Clearly we thought, only one of those fits the bill, and that is wireguard-go. However, benchmarks quickly showed that wireguard-go falls very short of the performance offered by the kernel module. This is because while the Go language is very good for writing servers, it is not so good for raw packet processing, which a VPN essentially does.
After we decided to create a userspace WireGuard implementation, there was the small matter of choosing the right language. While C and C++ are both high performance, low level languages, recent history has demonstrated that their memory model was too fragile for a modern cryptography and security-oriented project. Go was shown to be suboptimal for this use case by wireguard-go.
In fact, another Rust implementation of WireGuard, wireguard-rs, exists. But wireguard-rs is very immature, and we strongly felt that it would benefit the WireGuard ecosystem if there was a completely independent implementation under a permissive license.
@schumaku , Yeah, I spotted that later that day.. My primary request is for wireguard. I've got a Raspberry Pi running OpenWRT as a poor man's VPN gateway. Got wireguard working on it and the increase in throughput is quite impressive. Currently the only one using it is myself (at home) but I'd like to move 3 other users (family) to that tunnel, but the Pi isn't really meant to handle that kind of processing.. Speeds drop off pretty quickly when the wife starts playing WOW and the kids start streaming video at the same time. So I'm hoping I can offload the VPN to the router, where it should be. It's that, I buy something with more computational power and two dedicated gig interfaces.
I appreciate the heads up on OpenVPN, since I probably muddled the waters by including that reference, but if I can get wireguard on the router I can move the Pi to something that won't get me gripes from the fam...(lol)
If you open a case @ fortinet TAC support in the meantime it can helpFortinet generally do not give support on design for projects in delivery, so to open a case like this one, it can be a good idea to ask support on the chat (like : How to configure a wireguard VPN on my FortiGate ?). The level 0 operator of the chat will not know and he will propose you to open a case at next TAC support level for a senior engenieer to answer.
Currently, WireGuard does not support comments or attaching human-memorable names to keys. This makes identifying the key's owner difficult particularly when multiple keys are in use. One solution is to generate a public key that contains some familiar characters (perhaps the first few letters of the owner's name or of the hostname etc.), wireguard-vanity-addressAUR does this.
Persistent configuration can be achieved using wg-quick@.service, which is shipped with wireguard-tools, or using a network manager. Network managers that support WireGuard are systemd-networkd, netctl[2], NetworkManager and ConnMan[3].
To implement persistent site-to-peer, peer-to-site or site-to-site type of connection with WireGuard and Netctl, just add appropriate Routes= line into the netctl profile configuration file and add this network to AllowedIPs in the WireGuard profile, e.g. Routes=('192.168.10.0/24 dev wg0') in the /etc/netctl/wg0 and AllowedIPs=10.0.0.1/32, 192.168.10.0/24 in /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf and then do not forget to enable IP forwarding.
Luckily, wireguard-tools provides an example script /usr/share/wireguard-tools/examples/reresolve-dns/reresolve-dns.sh, that parses WG configuration files and automatically resets the endpoint address.
systemd version 253 introduced a change in how network interfaces are reconfigured when resuming from a suspended state[7]. In doing so, network connections managed by systemd-networkd will lose connection to the wireguard interface. Unless a kill switch is configured, this risks exposing the public IP address after resuming from suspend. To fix this, uncomment and change the value to no for ManageForeignRoutingPolicyRules in /etc/systemd/networkd.conf. [8]
