WireGuard unable to generate keys

[twcory]

Hello,

I just wanted to try out WireGuard to remotely access my network. The problem that I am having is that I seem to be unable to generate private and public keys for a tunnel. Every time I try to generate new keys via the "Generate" button, this happens:

This is strange to me as in the video tutorials I watched and the guide on netgate, it seems like I should just be able to click generate and it should just work, but not for me? Any help would be appreciated, thanks

@twcory Try reinstalling the package? Do you have console / ssh access? Try menu option 8 and then run wg genkey and see what that outputs. If it works, try copying the key and typing echo xxxxxxx | wg pubkey where xxxxxxx is the private key from the first command...

Did you try with another webbrowser / private mode / disabled plugins ?

@rico It was because of my browser, I can now generate the keys without the error message. Thank you for the help

I have the same problem. Tried both Safari and Firefox on macOS.

I get this error in Safari's console upon clicking Generate:
SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token '/'!

I get this error in Firefox's console upon clicking Generate:
Uncaught SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data!

I've inspected the JSON response and there was an offending / in the start of the response which makes it invalid:

/{"privkey":"...","pubkey":"...","was_clamped":true}
