WireGuard lives!

@emikaadeo the guys who maintain that are working on it. But the repo is indeed down atm. My recommendation would be to uninstall that custom repo and either a) side-load or b) get the code from Netgate's repo. Now that things are settling down a bit with the code and design, expect more frequent updates from the official Netgate repository.

Is there another method to uninstall this custom repo since this one doesn't work?

Dear @theonemcdonald and all here,
Thanks for the package it works great. I am running 2.5.2 RC with no issues. Just a couple of questions. 1 - Will there be any work / development done so that the pfSense firewall can reboot and the WireGuard connection remains constant ? As it stands now - I have to set the default gateway to " Automatic " when rebooting. Just asking.
Two - Can anyone / somebody / anybody tell me how to install 2.6.0 development snapshot on a virtual machine. I get to a login after the installer runs - and that is where I get stuck. Further, the lan network does not seem to be able to dish out a connection from which to log into the webgui. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Peace Unto All

@ubernupe I reboot my development boxes multiple times per day and my WireGuard connections come right up. As for 2.6.0, there is a bug currently that is causing the installer to not work correctly. Install 2.5.1 and "upgrade" to 2.6.0 should avoid any bugs with the installer.

@theonemcdonald
Thanks for your swift and detailed reply. I appreciate the heads up about the bug in the 2.6.0 installer. I set up my firewall rules as you detailed for MULLVAD in earlier post found here :

https://forum.netgate.com/topic/163133/wireguard-lives/22

So, am I doing anything which causes my firewall to be unable to sustain WireGuard connection on reboot ? I thank you for your hard work and dedication to this project.
Peace and Happy Fourth

I'd like to install wireguard, however the version available in Package Manager is 0.1.5._3 instead of 1.6, plus the instructions on the Wiki in the Github page don't work as there doesn't appear to be a script at packages.mced.tech. I see the three pkg files under the release. Is it just a matter of installing them manually or is there an updated set of installation instructions I should use?

@slim0287 that repository is no longer active because the project is now sponsored and maintained in-house. v0.1.6 is available in 22.01/2.6RC branches. There is a UI dependency that makes v0.1.6 incompatible with older versions of pfSense. I’d recommend giving the release candidates a try, they are quite close to GA.
