WireGuard will not start on 25.11 using WireGuard 2.1, WireGuard update to later version??
-
I was on PfSense version 23.xx (don't recall the xx) and was able to start the Wireguard service. I upgraded to the 25.11 beta version and now the Wireguard service will not even start. I am on Wireguard version 2.1, and I see that there are versions that go up to 2.9. How do I upgrade to a later version? The only version in the pfSense updater is 2.1. Thank you

Same issue here, so it's not just you.

** {Solved} WireGuard Plugin Issue Resolved via Downgrade**
I successfully resolved my WireGuard plugin startup issues by downgrading from pfSense+ 25.11 beta to 24.11. The plugin now starts reliably and remains active without crashing.Interestingly, this downgrade also addressed a persistent problem with WireGuard plugin version 2.1, which was fixed in the newer version 2.9. Despite multiple attempts to delete and reinstall the old 2.1 version on 25.11, it kept reverting. However, a complete wipe of the 25.11 installation followed by a fresh 24.11 setup automatically updated the plugin to 2.9. To preserve my setup, I created a full backup (including all data) before the downgrade. After installation, I restored the 25.11 configuration file, and everything was back up and running seamlessly.
