      So I have created a Wireguard tunnel to my VPS (Windows) and it is working great and is much faster then the OVPN tunnel I used before (was bottlenecked by the vCPU to 138 Mbits/sec) . 👍

      Just a minor thing but I noticed that the Gateway is often shown as being down with packetloss. So what would be the optimal setting to cope with that, using shorter keep alive setting in wireguard or what?

      It is a S2S tunnel, where the VPS is the "Client" (connecting to pfSense).

      Edit: It looks like if both endpoints can make the connection the problem is gone. But lets say that wouldn't be the case, what to do about it.

      Edit2: In my first attempt I also made an error by not ticking the Dynamic Endpoint checkbox, so I had some information here which wasn't correct, because the port on the VPS wasn't open.
      I later opened this port (instead of ticking the box) and now both endpoints can make the connection and I decided to disable all keep alive and pinging, making it real stateless and stealth and I kinda like it.

      So I guess, problem solved, at least for now.
