Interesting stuff - reminds me that I should look into updating Pfsense that sits here since forever and just runs...

I'll have to keep an eye on release changelogs.

Looks like 2.5 is out with Wireguard.

https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/index.html

When I had it configured on a VM it seemed to function pretty good.

I haven't had a chance to download/play with 2.5 yet but hope to within the next couple days

Upgraded last night and played with Wireguard.
Pretty east to setup with a guide I found.

Got it working on my phone within 5 minutes (would have been less but I messed up the public key)

Couple things I wish they would have added
QR code for phone
way on Pfsense GUI to see if and how many tunnels are up (not hugely important for my usage)


For now I'm pretty happy with it.

Walkthrough with pretty pictures as I'm a visual person

Doesn’t play well with two providers.   Random websites don’t display using ANY dns server and I am getting thousands of collisions in the logs... I’ll try again next pfsense release

I don’t trust wireguard still at this point

Not sure why you don't trust it...In my experience Wireguard is phenomenal.  I manage 3 different Wireguard servers (including one for work thats in use 24/7 by multiple users), and have had very few problems.

The one nasty issue I ran into (and I don't blame Wireguard for this), was it acting flaky on a server that was fed by a Telco fiber connection.  Turns out the problem was the shitty PPPOE network layer the Telco insisted on (Why?!?!?! PPPOE fucking SUCKS! ), and causing MTU issues.  Fortunately there's a fix for that too.

I'm getting ready to redo my network so the IP's will be changing

but my local LAN is 192.168.x.x
my WG IP range is 10.30.x.x/24

I have my phone pointing to 192.168.x.x for my pihole and it works fine. Confirmed with pihole the WG ip range is hitting it and blocking ads.
