    Great Video! Got my Wireguard running with it on my pfsense. But your Video lacks one important configuration step. If someone (like me) wants to redirect all internet-traffic of the mobile devices, like a phone or notebook, over the pfsense, it is not only mandatory to set allowed IP-Adresses on mobile devices configuration file to 0.0.0.0/0 but also to define in pfsense on "Firewall / NAT / Outbound" a "Mappings"-Rule for the Source IP's of the Wireguard-Net and set the "Outbound NAT Mode" to "Hybrid Outbound NAT rule generation.(Automatic Outbound NAT + rules below)".Otherwise the traffic of the mobile devces wont be forwarded to the internet and its impssube to get any internetaccess during WIreguard-connection is established.

    Great great job! I'm being watch your videos and all of them are awesome. I used wireguard with homeassistant in the past without any issue. Since I migrate all my network to pfsense, I stoped use wireguard for a while, until today. Now I can remotly access to my networks with your help. Anyway and because my ISP refuse provide bridge service, I link the ISP modem/router through DMZ to my pfsense box. In that case the pfsense WAN interface has a private IP, but in the wireguard client configuration I setup with the Public IP. It's fine that way or should I change the endpoint IP for the WAN private IP? TKS in advance for your comments

    First of all thanks for watching and for the support msg! If I understood correctly, it's fine to have a private IP assigned to the WAN and to use that with wireguard. I think i the video that's what I did. If you have the option to choose, I would rather have the modem in bridge mode (cable modem only) and place pfsense between the WAN and LAN as that's the correct way to place the firewall. I also don't think you need the DMZ, you can simply disable the DHCP Server (if you have that option) in the modem, and let your pfsense box assume the role of dhcp server. You will run into double NAT, but it's more secure than going through the DMZ (if I understood correctly). Since DHCP is layer 3, if you disable the DHCP, the modem will still work at switch level and you can also use the wireless. I hope this helps mate, but happy to stand corrected if I didn't understand your question! :)

    @@DigitalMirrorComputing tks yr quickly reply. In general u got the real picture of my infraestructure, but some other questions arises to me. the main question it's if the endpointin of the WG setup is the public ip got from ISP modem/router or the private IP from the LAN side of ISP router which feed to my WAN pfsense box? Related of the way I bridged the out/in traffic with DMZ configuration, it was to avoid the 2xNAT, and dont delay the traffic. but perharps this is too strict and it will not have any visible effect on the private network. by security reasons If I have to live with double nat, so it will be. In the other hand, I really trust in to pfsense firewall. Sometimes the best is the enemy of the good.

    was just to ask how about tailscale since its built on top of wireguard as well. RIght now I'm using taiscale and setup a rpi 4 as a tailscale exit node and router so that I can still access hosts on my LAN that can't install a VPN client software

    Great video, very clear! One question: So I have the server (pfsense) and client (android phone) all set up and the handshake is good. Now what? How do I access my network? I mean, this supposedly creates a tunnel to the pfsense box, but how does that translate to giving me access to the rest of my LAN from outside? This is the part that never seems to be covered in any video or tutorial that I see. Can you elaborate? For example, now I want to use my network browser app on my phone to see the shared media on my local server at home. How would I do that using this setup?

    Nice video tutorial! Personally I hate wireguard. Speeds are great however the fact you need to generate keys for every client/device sucks. Openvpn is great to set and forget at the router. You shouldn't have to go through all this trouble for every device connected to your router it defeats the purpose of having a VPN router

    That's a very fair point! It can be a pain in the ass to grant and revoke keys all the bloody time! Also I believe you can integrate OpenVPN with ADFS and manage authentication that way! For my home lab (and given I am the only user as the missus is alergic to computers) is good enough! :D Thanks for watching! :)

    One question, if you have local domains on let's say office network like laptop01.local, Wireguard cannot resolve those, and you could need your laptop01 actual IP address...any idea how to work around that?
