@chrisjmuk I will get a mullvad subscription to test

@chrisjmuk This has been fixed, will be in the next release.

For anyone having issues with Mullad,

Make sure your gateway is the same as your interface address

chrisjmuk

@theonemcdonald still no luck unfortuantly on my side. are you able to give me a quick message?

vajonam

@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

firewall rules to do policy based routing.

chrisjmuk

@vajonam Thank you, that done the trick - all working now, i will set my self as a regular sponsor for your github.

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

@theonemcdonald Hi! Just to clarify, will this be available in pfSense 2.5.1 Package Manager ?

JeGr

@emikaadeo said in WireGuard lives!:

@theonemcdonald Hi! Just to clarify, will this be available in pfSense 2.5.1 Package Manager ?

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.

chrisjmuk

@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.

chrisjmuk

@vjizzle i am using the same and this is my CPU spec and i am only using 3% on idle but does jump to 40% on a speed which it would normally even without the wireguard.

Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N2940 @ 1.83GHz
Current: 1826 MHz, Max: 1827 MHz
4 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 4 core(s)

vajonam

@chrisjmuk think you mean 2.6.xx ?

vjizzle

@chrisjmuk I have the following specs on my testlab pfSense 2.6:

CPU Type Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-6100U CPU @ 2.30GHz
2 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 1 core(s) x 2 hardware threads
AES-NI CPU Crypto: Yes (inactive)
QAT Crypto: No

The load does not bother me that much, my main pfSense is a core i5 beast :) so no worries there. But by the time this is ready for production I expect it to be better optimized for performance. The developer said there will be tweaks and tuning.

emikaadeo

Downloaded packages from GitHub and installed manually v0.0.9 on 2.5.1-RELEASE (amd64) in this order:

wireguard-kmod-0.0.20210503.txz
wireguard-tools-lite-1.0.20210424.txz
pfSense-pkg-WireGuard-0.0.9.txz

Works great so far (using Mullvad VPN)
Is there any best/safe method to upgrade packages when new versions will be available?

dersch

So if i update to 2.5.1 i need to manually install the package?

emikaadeo

@dersch
The new WireGuard port is currently not available officially in 2.5.1 Package Manager (only in 2.6.0 development) so yes, you have to install packages manually.

I'm running 2.5.1 with the pfsense wireguard v0.0.9 pkgs installed. I configured wireguard 3+ days ago to connect my VPN (Windscribe) and since then all is working flawlessly. Nice.

Now I see that the v0.1.1 pkgs were released a few hours ago, so like @emikaadeo asked previously, what is/are the "best/safe method to upgrade packages when new versions will be available?"

Thanks!
.

dersch

@martywd same for me.

@theonemcdonald can you advise please how to upgrade?

with

pgk upgrade pfSense-pkg-WireGuard-new.version.txz

it is asking to install it new. So do we need to remove the old.version first? will the config persist?
