      @chudak Is it just DNS resolution that stops working or is it all connectivity?

        That's a good question, I have not tried using IPs
        Suspect it's DNS but will try using IPs next time it happens

          I was wrong - no connectivity at all, can't ping my router/gateway or 8.8.8.8

          any clues ?

            @chudak And if you toggle the iOS client on and off everything starts working again?

                This is extremely annoying :(

                Wonder if you had a chance to find a suspect?

                  @chudak Try the latest package version 0.1.5_3, which includes a pretty significant fix that impacts handshakes.

                        Installed it, but so far not sure if this issue was fixed.

                        Have you been able to reproduce it?
                        Why do you think it’s fixed?

                        Thx

                          Actually, I left my iPhone on 5G network and WG connected and so far after > 3 hours, I see no problems.

                          :)

                              I don't see a stale state as often as I used to, but it's not completely fixed AFAICS

                              I will be paying more attention and see if other users provide more data points.

                              @Lakitu78 You saw the same problem, can you see if it's better/same/worse on the latest release?

                                This problem is not fixed and is very annoying :(

                                It's very simple to test - connect WG on an iPhone and see if you can use the phone for a whole day.
                                The iPhone becomes unresponsive and no DNS names get resolved until WG I disable and then activate again.

                                Please take a look at it!

                                  @chudak I have not been able to replicate this issue as of yet. I have several devices that maintain connections all the time without issue. Can you upgrade to 2.6.0-RC and give v0.1.6 a test?

                                    I want to wait till 2.6.0 is released.

                                    The devices that you maintain connected to WG all the time, do you turn them off or they are on all the time?

                                      Just chiming in that I've seen the same issue with the official wireguard app on Android. The symptoms are the same with an always-on VPN connection that stays on for a day or more but eventually goes stale with no connectivity. A reconnect will fix the issue but it will return occasionally once every 1-3 days. I've noticed it most on first use in the morning after the phone has been idle during the night.

                                          So this is an issue on iOS with the latest WireGuard app?
