<![CDATA[Wireguard Gateway not coming up after reboot.]]>Hey guys,,

I have been having issue after i started using WG on my pfsense box, where the WG gateway wont come up after reboot.
i already tried using service watchdog, which helped partially getting the WG service to start but the gateway of the WG interface just shows red highlight as if its dead.
restarting the gateway manually make it work againt till next reboot.

the boot logs are shown below if helpfull

I have the same issue. I'm running pfsense CE 2.7.2 and after restart I have to enable the wireguard gateway, then start the wireguard service.
I was thinking to do a script and add it to a cron job, but I couldn't find the right command that can enable the wireguard gateway. Any help is much appreciated. thanks.

Configured wireguard for site to site vpn where Site A had to route and use internet traffic from Site B. Everything was working fine except when i restart the pfsense at Site A, the WG gateway does not always come back online after reboot so the connection is stuck and there is no internet at all because the default gateway is set to WG-GW.

So i tried solving this problem first with firewall rules and force traffic from Site A lan to always pass through WG, however it wasn't an elegant solution. Then i tested a couple of things at the next reboot while the WG gateway was "stuck" and found out the firewall had some "bad" states which were holding up the WG GW traffic.

After flushing the states, the gateway started getting traffic and Site A was back online. So finally i thought about either writing a shell script to reset the states at boot time or via cron.

I ended up installing the cron package and adding the following cron job to the table:

@reboot root sleep 30 && ping -c4 8.8.8.8 || pfctl -F state

So basically, after pfsense reboots, it will wait for 30 seconds, then try to ping google 4 times and if that fails then it will flush firewall states so the wireguard gateway comes back online.

This solved my problem as i moved away from OpenVPN in favor of WireGuard.

The cron table last line should look like this:
Screenshot from 2024-08-21 18-48-21.png

minute: @reboot
hour, day, month, week (leave empty)
user: root
command: sleep 30 && ping -c4 8.8.8.8 || pfctl -F state

Actually I use wireguard as client only, my goal to route only vlan20 through vpn gateway, while the main lan going through wan gateway.

Therefore I created a second non local gateway based on the configuration file provided by windscribe.

After setting up the WireGuard interface, instance and peer. I created a nat rule for WireGuard interface then,
I created a rule to route all traffic from vlan20 through Wireguard Gateway.

It’s all working and dandy till I reboot-> wireguard connection shows red -> wireguard gateway not up.
And only way to make it work by resetting the gateway or reinstalling wireguard.

Btw my main wan connection is PPPOE if makes any difference.

What gateway? And have you set your Default gateway as WAN?
