Defualt WAN rules blocking access to remote Wireguard peer.
-
Set up a remote Wireguard peer on my home network. Tried to access it from my work desktop behind a pfsense router. It would not connect. That is until I unchecked both Block Private Networks, and Block Bogon Networks on the WAN interface. Once I did that I could access machines on my home network.
Later I rechecked those 2 settings and I can still access my home network. I assume it's a state table thing and eventually I will be blocked again.
Anyway what is the best way to set up firewall rules in pfsense that lets those 2 WAN settings stayed checked but lets my specific wireguard connection through?
On v 22.05 of pfsense.
