        Hi. I have version 0.0.8 installed on pfsense 2.6 using the package manager in pfsense. But it does not show me the newer version so I can upgrade. Is this normal (for now at least)?

          @vjizzle yes. There is open pull request to include it into the 2.6.0 ports repository once that happens it will show up.

          Likely to be sometime next week.

            Just to be clear on changes

            If you are on 0.0.8 or 0.0.9. Here is list of major changes for 0.1.1

            • unbound ACL creation for non assigned interfaces
            • service daemonization, reliable startup shutdown eliminate zombie process/services.
              • enables smooth upgrade of the kmod when the upstream kmod is updated. because stopping the service unloads the kernel module so it can be upgraded.
            • redone status page with show/hide peers
            • bug fixes / better validation for initial peer / tunnel setup.
            • move away from wg-quick and dependency on bash. better response for enabling / disabling peers and tunnels.

            If you are using for just private internet access and there aren't very many changes that affect you.

            more importantly on the wiregurad-kmod side

            • upgrading to wireguard-kmod-0.0.20210503.txz fixes a kernel panic that I had reported and this was fixed upstream.

            @theonemcdonald please feel free to add anything if missed anything.

                Upgrade to 0.1.1 worked great! Thanks.

                But i'm encountering high errors out on the tun_wg interface:

                i have no idea why and what could be the cause. Any idea or hint what could produce that errors?

                  Not really sure why that happens. I am running this with very few errors maybe 1 or 0. I will keep an eye on it. Just a thought maybe try adjusting the MTU depending on your WAN uplink.

                    @vajonam Its pretty strange. but i'm not using the wan for peers. So it shouldn't be related?

                        Just upgraded to 2.6.0.a.20210524.0100-DEV:

                        Crash report details:

                        PHP Errors:
                        [24-May-2021 18:48:49 Europe/Rome] PHP Warning: flock() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in /usr/local/pkg/wireguard/wg_service.inc on line 324

                        Installed pfSense v2.6.0-DEV from scratch and configured WG by hand (i.e. no import from old config.xml) after added pkg.

                        WG is properly working though.

                          @psp I caught this a few days ago. Fix will be in the next release. It is cosmetic.

                            Does this currently, or in future, work on official Netgate hardware eg. SG-5100?

                              @brians update to Pfsense version 21.05 RC and you will have access to the package. Unfortunately it's version 0.0.8 instead of the more current 0.1.1. Unsure why that is.

                                @gabacho4 just manually removed the older package versions and manually reinstalled and all is well. Not as convenient as having a package to select in the package manager, but easy enough still and nice to be on current.

                                  @gabacho4 Thanks, I will just wait until official release. Was just curious because the different version numbers with PfSense + and CE.
                                  Having said that, wonder if will support the ARM devices eg. SG3100.

                                    @brians yup it should support ARM devices, assuming NG will build the WireGuard Kmods for all architectures. the WG pfsense package (ui) really has no dependency on architecture.

                                      Wow, I upgraded SG5100 to 21.05 last night, this morning I manually installed WireGuard 0.1.2.
                                      Took me a few minutes of fiddling with my iPhone, and memories of how I setup before. There is a few differences in assigning interface etc. but it very simple and I had no problems except forgetting to add firewall rule on the interface which is probably very common LOL.

                                      Later will setup a 2nd SG5100 and do site to site test.

                                      Let's hope this gets updated into official packages in GUI because its still at 0.0.8. I did notice package no longer shows up as available in GUI on my pfSense if I have installed manually, which is a good thing I suppose!

                                        This might be a good argument for adding associated pass rule creation as a feature when creating a tunnel, similar to what is done for port forwarding

                                          @theonemcdonald I ran into a similar issue and stronly support your thoughts. In my view a good model to follow is that set out for IPSec and openVPN particularly with regard to outbound NAT rules when setting up a server.

                                            But is it possible to even make a rule before the interface is assigned? Don't you still have to go and select/assign it after making the tunnel?
