      I am in the process of setting up a tunnel to provide IPv6 service over WireGuard. I wanted to have a backup of the configuration so I could reproduce it should that be necessary. What I discovered is that for a static peer the configuration is incomplete.

      I've inserted <hidden> for the keys but this is the configuration I get from the "Download Configuration" button:

      Description: IPv6

      [Interface]
      PrivateKey = <hidden>
      ListenPort = 51823

      Peer: IPv6

      [Peer]
      PublicKey = <hidden>
      PresharedKey = <hidden>
      AllowedIPs = 2620:132:3002:1014::/64
      PersistentKeepalive = 30

      Ideally, it would be nice to have the Address statement in the interface section but I understand that may be a challenge because it is elsewhere in the pfSense interface.

      What I find a significant problem is this is a static peer (dynamic is not checked) and I have entered the endpoint IP and port but this information is not part of the exported/saved configuration. The above configuration needs:
      Endpoint = IP:port
      to be complete.
