      ... and I can't use WG from my iPhone anymore :(

      Hello all!

      Can someone point me to a good video/steps to do this?

      Either I am missing something or iOS 14 broke WG.

        @chudak See this reddit thread amongst others. Looks like some things are broken due to changes in iOS 15 and the fix is a work in progress.

          @bigsy As a followup, a recent posting on the WG mailing list advises upgrading to the latest iOS WG app (version ≥1.0.15-26) prior to upgrading iOS 14 to iOS 15.

          Due to buggy changes Apple has made to the Keychain on iOS 15, older
          versions of WireGuard on iOS will eat your VPN configurations when
          upgrading to iOS 15. This has been fixed by [1], which is now
          available as of version ≥1.0.15-26. If you are still on iOS 14, before
          updating to iOS 15, please remember to update the WireGuard app to
          this latest version in the App Store.

            I wish I knew it earlier 🤔

            The question is what to do now ?
            I guess wait for fixes ….

              @chudak If you've already upgraded to iOS 15 it should now be working with the latest version of the app but you'll have to recreate the tunnel on the WG app.

              I've done a quick test on an iPhone and it seems to be OK apart from not automatically recognising the WiFi SSID.

                Would you mind to paste screenshot of your iPhone settings? (Masking private info of cause)

                  @chudak This is the wg.conf file I imported into the iPhone. Apart from that I have the app configured for on-demand, WiFi only, excluding my home SSID.

                  [Interface]
                  PrivateKey = xxx
                  Address = 172.18.3.100/24
                  DNS = 172.18.3.1
                  
                  [Peer]
                  PublicKey = yyy
                  PresharedKey = zzz
                  AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
                  Endpoint = a.b.c:51820

                    @bigsy Thank you!

                    I restored one connection but still struggling with another.
                    But WG works on iOS15, it's more like a pilot problem (copying all keys correctly etc.)

                    What is not clear to me is why WG does not have "a la" VPN client export config ability. I tried to download the tunnel configuration, but it seems to be requiring some editing, and couldn't make it work. Maybe I am not using it correctly?
