WireGuard lives!

gabacho4

@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.

vajonam

@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.

@theonemcdonald

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?

brians

What is the purpose of Interface addresses?
When I assign to an interface I assign the IP address to the interface and the values entered here previously disappear and are not used. If I un-assign they re-appear.

This is for configuring WireGuard tunnels that are not assigned to a pfSense interface. Yea that is a bit confusing. But basically you can have two different types of WireGuard tunnels, which sort of depend on what you intend to do with them. It is possible to build WireGuard tunnels that aren't associated with a specific pfSense interface. These WireGuard tunnels are filtered using the "WireGuard" interface group. The addresses for unassigned tunnels are configured through the WireGuard UI. However, once you assign a WireGuard tunnel to a pfSense interface, pfSense takes over the address assignment, so the WireGaurd UI changes to reflect that...and instead you're left with a link to the native pfSense UI for configuring addresses:

We do this because we don't want to step on pfSense's toes when it comes to things that it should be handling.

brians

@theonemcdonald ok thanks, can you give me an example of your first tunnel named Remote Access?

I have my iPhone setup with an actual interface, is there a way to make it simpler without assigning an interface like this?

cmcdonald

@theonemcdonald
Thanks, I though I would try myself and got working and then came back to update but you already responded :)

I didn't realize could do without an interface so this is much nicer...

cmcdonald

@brians oh no worries! Glad it is working!

Assigning as an interface is useful if you intend to route traffic over the WireGuard tunnel. For instance, you'll notice in my example Remote Access is unassigned but my Mullvad tunnel is assigned (because I need to be able to do policy routing over the mullvad tunnel).

Generally speaking, if you're doing Road Warrior, you don't need to assign the interface...but if you're doing Site-to-Site, you'll probably need to assign it.

Tried latest v0.1.2_3 with no issues.

Also noticed that on my work SG-5100 the Gui package manager has 0.1.1 now.

I see v0.1.2_3 is a release candidate so probable will see that version soon for general availability.

cmcdonald

@brians Yep, working hard on this! Soon

Is it currently planned to inlcude the wireguard package in the list for 2.5.2-release or only for 2.6(-dev)? At least having it with a -dev/-experimental or /-beta/-alpha label in 2.5.2 would be nice, but currently 2.5.2-betas don't have it listed. I think it would really help bringing additional helpers and eyes to your package and we can help work out the kinks :)

I've been using wireguard on '2.5.1-RELEASE (amd64)' since v0.0.8 was released, upgrading every time a new release was added. Updated yesterday from v0.1.2_6 to v0.1.3. This where I stand at the moment:

pfSense-pkg-WireGuard 0.1.3
wireguard-kmod 0.0.20210606
wireguard-tools-lite 1.0.20210424

One issue I've noticed since doing yesterday's update is shown as follows (Public key removed from the image, all else is as appears, sans the red eclipse ... of course!). This is from 2.5.1's menu: 'Status|Wireguard|Tunnels' and clicking on 'Show Peers' button. Possibly this is because I'm using 2.5.1? idk?

This seems cosmetic since my wireguard connect in pfsense continues to work without issues.

In the 'Status' window the 'Peers' show as expected (again, keys and endpoint:ports removed by me from this image).

Hi! I am running wireguard on 2.5.2 rc. I have no tunnels configured because this system is running in a virtual machine on my homelab.

After upgrading to the latest version of wireguard I still see these errors:

Crash report begins. Anonymous machine information:

amd64
12.2-STABLE
FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE RELENG_2_5_2-n226661-b1c18988dca pfSense

I hope this is all cosmetic but please let me know if I can help troubleshoot this.

cmcdonald

@vjizzle Fix for this is included in the latest release which was accepted yesterday. It should be available very soon

@theonemcdonald i'm missing the routing overview inside the status view wt 0.1.3
