Wireguard Site to Site working great but always chatting
-
I have a site-to-site setup between to Pfsense gateways that are remote to each other. Everything is working great but whats odd is I shutoff (disabled) the open WG ports on one end hoping the tunnel would die off on one side, as I wanted the connection to only be initiated by one end only. This obviously is not working as the tunnel is always up and is always chatting on both in end at about 250 B/s.
I wanted it to work so that a server on one side (behind NAT) would have to open the connection to server on the other side to start an Rsync. When that Rsync process was over the connection would die until the next Rsync.
Any suggestions?
thank you

@jay226 Turn off Keep Alive and disable Gateway Monitoring on both sides.

thanks for the reply.
Keep a-lives were off. that was confusing.
I'll disable Gateway Monitoring on both sides.
what about "Gateway Monitoring Actions"?
What was interesting was the traffic, even though small, still added up to about 1 GB per day, according to the Traffic Totals add-on.
thanks for the help.
