        There could be multiple reasons for this and you didnt give any information to help troubleshoot.
        Whats in your allowed IPs list?

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

          @torstein Um,

          I don't use BGP but it works on OSPF, or rather OSPF works over WireGuard. OSPF is normally multicast, so you have to set the links as point-to-point and they'll discover themselves just fine. You don't even need to specify the neirbor's address. It's pretty cool, I think.

          As I mentioned, I don't use BGP because I don't know much about it, but as I gather, it works over TCP and directly addresses its neighbors so I see no reason why it wouldn't be possible.

          Here are some examples, they for other platforms but you should be able to translate if you understand it though. :)

          • "BGP works with WireGuard without any special steps so long as the peers are static and the peers have Tunnel Endpoint Next Hop Entries configured." — https://docs.netgate.com/tnsr/en/latest/wireguard/example.html

          Missing something? Word endings, maybe? I included a free puzzle in this msg if you solv--okay, I'm lying. It's dyslexia, makes me do that, sorry! Just finish the word; they're rarely misspelled, just incomplete. Yeah-yeah-I know. Same thing.
