    Sometime around a recent up date, Wireguard stopped working. I can connect from outside the pfsense network to the Wireguard Server and ping it (172.yyy.xxx.1) and can connect to clients within the network. For some reason I cannot connect to any resources external to my Network. Any suggestions? I tried other clients and still had the same problem. There must be a rule issue even though I did not modify any of the rules.
    Any suggestions for testing or solution?
    Interestingly I have the same problem with OpenVPN

    Thanks

    Eric

      You can’t connect to the internet when using any VPN?
      Do you have an outbound NAT rule?
      Do you have a firewall rule permitting external access?

      Screenshot of your NAT rules will help as well

      Firewall: NetGate,Palo Alto-VM,Juniper SRX
      Routing: Juniper, Arista, Cisco
      Switching: Juniper, Arista, Cisco
      Wireless: Unifi, Aruba IAP
      JNCIP,CCNP Enterprise

        @michmoor Thanks for your insight and pointing me in another direction I was looking. After much analysis, my issue was a dns issue, which I have now resolved. I appreciate having your viewpoint.

          It wasn't a DNS problem. After reviewing the logs and error notifications, I believe there were problems with pfBlockerNG DNSBL service and pfBlockerNG firewall filter service. Once I disabled these services Wireguard and OpenVPN worked like a charm. I tried to reinstall pfBlockerNG, unfortunately pfBlockerNG DNSBL and pfBlockerNG firewall filter services did NOT restart. Any suggestions?
