      I ended up running a backup of everything except the installed packages (WG was the only package I had installed) and spinning up a new VM for pfSense. After it was up and running, I restored the backup. It's working fine now -- still can't get WG to function properly though. As of right now, I've got the firewall rule set to allow ALL VPN TRAFFIC to access the entire network unrestricted. I figured that once I get that working, I'd pare it down to be as restrictive as I need.

      But even though the phone successfully performs the handshake(s), it won't allow any traffic. I can't browse the internet or access facilities that are behind the VPN. :(

        @doni49 Are you just venting or do you want some help??
        If you want help, maybe you should provide some info?
        Post screenshots of your config.

          I was going to post screenshots to ask for help but had to deal with a phone call from the boss.

          Here are all the screenshots that I thought would be useful.

            As I continue to troubleshoot this, I realized that I had entered 10.1.90.1/32 in the tunnel instead of 10.1.90.1/24. I made that change and unfortunately, it hasn't gotten any better.

              @doni49 Your client looks good but you need to fix the peer config.
              10.1.90.0/32 isn't gonna get anything done.
              And add 0.0.0.0/0 to it also. The 10.1.90 is the tunnel, you need the network beyond the tunnel too.

                You posted as I was typing, not sure where you saw 10.1.90.1/32, I see 10.1.90.0/32. You're still wrong either way, you want 10.1.90.101/32. Plus the 0.0.0.0/0.

                  I saw it under the interface (the simplest way I can think to describe is to tell you I click on Interfaces>Assignment>WG. At the bottom of that page, it had 10.1.90.1/32. I changed that 10.1.90.1/24. I'll try changing the peer to 10.1.90.101/32 & 0.0.0.0/0.

                  I'll post back with the results. Thanks for the assistance.

                    OMG! That was it! Now to save a backup and move on to getting split tunnel working and limiting VPN access to the 10.1.20.1/24 network.

                    Thank you!

                      @doni49 You don't have to guess. All of this is very much documented.
                      I have to say this is one of the weirdest threads I've ever come across. Instead of pulling your hair out, just read.

                        Yeah. I get it. I've read some conflicting info while researching this along with some videos that contradicted some of what I saw. I've gone down so many rabbit holes that I lost track of what I had and had not tried.

                        That and not noticing my typo (32 vs 24) didn't help.

                        But thanks.
