<p dir="auto">With a little tinkering, and collating information from various guides, I've managed to get a working VPN.  I'm able to establish a tunnel to the pfSense from an Android mobile phone (using mobile data), and from a Windows laptop (when tethered to said android mobile phone), and can access the LAN behind the pfSense.</p>
<p dir="auto">The office I work at has a 'Guest WiFi', which is provided for visitors from other companies to be able to get WiFi on our site, and to be able to use their own VPN.  However, when I connect to it, I'm able to activate the Wireguard VPN, and it seems to handshake OK, but it only sends data down the tunnel, nothing is received back.  I know that outbound ports are filtered on this Guest WiFi network, which is why I'm using the UDP 1194, the same as I used for OpenVPN on my old firewall, which did connect successfully.</p>
<p dir="auto">On my side I have an internet router provided by my ISP, which has limited configuration options, but has the pfSense set as a 'DMZ host', so it's forwarding all inbound traffic to it.</p>
<p dir="auto">Is there something that I've missed which is causing an incompatibility?  Is the fact that there's (presumably) NAT'ing outbound on the Guest WiFi getting in the way?</p>
