      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!

        @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?

          Yes as long as the "keep settings" is checked on the settings tab. It will persist. but its always good to make a backup of your config before you upgrade. Recreating the wg tunnels is quite easy once you have the settings.

          However I have done the upgrade on many boxes and it runs it fine. Just be careful if you are upgrading wireguard over the wire guard tunnel itself like a remote router.

            Having no success upgrading to 0.1.1 from 0.0.9 on pfSense 2.6.0-DEVELOPMENT.

            Have tried the following with result:

            the most recent version of pfSense-pkg-WireGuard-0.0.9 is already installed

            I'm out of ideas.

              pkg remove 0.0.9 and then pkg install 0.1.1_1

              I think the issue is that you cannot upgrade a _1 (REVISION) package when you dont have 0.1.1 package installed.

              remove should not lose your configuration.

                Thanks for the pointers.

                I had to run pkg add ...........-0.1.1_1
                instead of pkg install ..........-0.1.1_1

                  Just a best practice. when using the command line, always remove and install new versions.

                  Eventually when we move to a gui installer (Package Manager) it will do this anyway. this way no files are left around because of an upgrade.

                    @tquade if you are side loading you should always pkg remove first and then pkg add. The GUI package manager doesn't perform in place upgrades as that can leave obsolete files on disk.

                        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:

                                        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?
