      New to pfSense+. Everything working well, except I can't get Wireguard to work.

      Can't find where I would see if handshaking is happening, but the Wireguard status page has a green arrow pointing up, so I think I have the tunnel set up correctly. Status page also shows traffic up and down. Documentation says there is a "show peers" button, but I can't find it.

      Followed all the rest of the tutorials I found.

      On System/Routing/Gateways, if I change the default IPv4 gateway to the tunnel websites can't be accessed I get timeouts attempting to connect to any website (so it looks like DNS is workiing). If WAN_DHCP is the default IPv4 gateway, websites work but not through the tunnel ("what's my IP" shows my ISP).

      I suspect I've got a routing problem, but I've tried all sorts of things and can't get it to work.

      Grateful for any pointers.

        Update: I found the "show peers" button, and it shows that the tunnel is handshaking.

          Neglected to say I am trying to configure Wireguard as a client to Windscribe.
