      @dersch That was backed out until a more suitable overall solution for routes is built. Right now, you will need to either a) use a dynamic routing protocol or b) create static routes to direct traffic out a certain WG tunnel interface. This is being worked on

          @emikaadeo the guys who maintain that are working on it. But the repo is indeed down atm. My recommendation would be to uninstall that custom repo and either a) side-load or b) get the code from Netgate's repo. Now that things are settling down a bit with the code and design, expect more frequent updates from the official Netgate repository.

            Is there another method to uninstall this custom repo since this one doesn't work?

                    Dear @theonemcdonald and all here,
                    Thanks for the package it works great. I am running 2.5.2 RC with no issues. Just a couple of questions. 1 - Will there be any work / development done so that the pfSense firewall can reboot and the WireGuard connection remains constant ? As it stands now - I have to set the default gateway to " Automatic " when rebooting. Just asking.
                    Two - Can anyone / somebody / anybody tell me how to install 2.6.0 development snapshot on a virtual machine. I get to a login after the installer runs - and that is where I get stuck. Further, the lan network does not seem to be able to dish out a connection from which to log into the webgui. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
                    Peace Unto All

                      @ubernupe I reboot my development boxes multiple times per day and my WireGuard connections come right up. As for 2.6.0, there is a bug currently that is causing the installer to not work correctly. Install 2.5.1 and "upgrade" to 2.6.0 should avoid any bugs with the installer.

                        Thanks for your swift and detailed reply. I appreciate the heads up about the bug in the 2.6.0 installer. I set up my firewall rules as you detailed for MULLVAD in earlier post found here :

                        https://forum.netgate.com/topic/163133/wireguard-lives/22

                        So, am I doing anything which causes my firewall to be unable to sustain WireGuard connection on reboot ? I thank you for your hard work and dedication to this project.
                        Peace and Happy Fourth

                          I'd like to install wireguard, however the version available in Package Manager is 0.1.5._3 instead of 1.6, plus the instructions on the Wiki in the Github page don't work as there doesn't appear to be a script at packages.mced.tech. I see the three pkg files under the release. Is it just a matter of installing them manually or is there an updated set of installation instructions I should use?

                            @slim0287 that repository is no longer active because the project is now sponsored and maintained in-house. v0.1.6 is available in 22.01/2.6RC branches. There is a UI dependency that makes v0.1.6 incompatible with older versions of pfSense. I’d recommend giving the release candidates a try, they are quite close to GA.
