Wireguard Site-to-Site Gateways disabled after reboot - service not starting
-
@Seeking-Sense
The Solution is restarting dpinger after reboot.
Search for my post in the solution for site to site gateway down after Reboot -
What Buzz said, restart dpinger and then start Wireguard.

Thanks for the reply @buzz2912 I may have tried that in the past not exactly sure and just stumbled across the DISABLE & ENABLE Interface solution.
I will reboot pfSense later and try your solution.
Never the less I need an unattended automated method to implement your or my solution for the times that my internet connect flakes out or there is a power outage and yes I have pfSense on a UPS.
Also WireGuard "is running" just not functioning when I DISABLE and ENABLE it's Interface.

install cron and service watchdog. Add wireguard to service watchdog. Create a cron job @reboot && sleep 30 for designer restart Here is the link -
@buzz2912 are you saying to reinstall the WireGuard each time this happens? If so that is bonkers Or are you saying restart dpinger utilizing CRON and WATCHDOG?

At First i reinstalled. Now I am using dpinger restart -
I've just installed 2.7.0-RELEASE and the same issue and fix exists.

@Misterb wow really? The problem still exist? omg i won't even bother to install the new version.I just need to find a pfb replace and i am out.
Thanks you just save me some time, i had in mind a clean install. -
@Misterb thanks for being the guinea pig.

Tried it too. 2.7.0 and the problem is still the same.

Well i think that i might solved the problem after reboot. If someone can test and see if its working, i did several reboots and now my wg is coming up without the error for unknown gateway.
What i did is check the box Disable Negate rules under System/Advanced/Firewall & NAT.
But i still have the problem if my wan goes offline when it is coming back my wg connection will remain offline until i reboot the box.
This is a clean 2.7 install without restoring backup just to discard any errors. -
