        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?

                        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.
