        I'm wondering if it's a simple matter to just scp the 4 package files over and then run pkg on each one to install them, then reboot?

          Yup that is it.. I like to install them in the order of dependency.

          wireguard-kmod, bash, wireguard-tools and then pkg-Wireguard. With the latest kmod we are seeing some KPs and other wierdness. So remeber this is experimental. don't run on prod and backup before you make any chagnes.

            I cant get it to work.

            I am not even sure if its connecting and i am not sure how the NAT should be configured so that all traffic goes via wireguard as it no longer makes a gateway.

            Kind Regards,
            Chris

              @chrisjmuk so you’ll need to create your own gateway entry manually, and then policy route over it as usual

                            For anyone having issues with Mullad,

                            29f2f625-6720-41a5-a3ae-7f85d699bbb8-image.png

                            Make sure your gateway is the same as your interface address

                                @chrisjmuk I just get got it setup and working fine.

                                Here is what I did.

                                • download zip file for the config from mullvad
                                • create tunnels and peers. (the conf in the zip file contains the tunnel private key, and public key for peer, the pfsense ui will generate the tunnel public key automatically)
                                • create interface MULL_WG with Interface Address 10.x.x.x/32, create a gateway at the same time for that same IP.
                                • create outbound NAT, set interface to MULL_WG and source / dest to any

                                f0bb8adc-e3e9-4cb1-9318-158b7ac6ef1c-image.png

                                • firewall rules to do policy based routing.

                                    Hi! I setup pfSense 2.6 on my Hyper-V lab and was able to get setup a Wireguard tunnel with TorGuard. Looks promising! I did notice a little more cpu load then I expected when running speedtests but I was able to utilize my 100Mbit internet connection.

                                      @vjizzle There is still optimization gains to be realized yet in the kernel module...primarily around the crypto. We will track all ongoing development on all fronts to keep this fresh and current. Stay tuned

                                          Not currently as it's not recommended for stable. So if you want to run it on 2.5.x, download the packages from GitHub and install it manually.

                                            @emikaadeo I am currently just using the Dev build 1.6.xxxx and just install the package via the package manager and seems to work great.
