Title: WireGuard doesn't work over HE IPv6 Tunnel Broker
Post by: kasper93 on July 09, 2021, 08:30:19 pm

Hi,

I have fairly simple setup, but cannot make WireGuard work over IPv6.

Interfaces:
WAN: My ISP provided IPv4
WANv6: HE IPv6 Tunnel Broker
WG: WireGuard

Now when I use IPv4 endpoint on client peer it works flawlessly. But when I use IPv6 it doesn't work. Handshake packets come through from client as I see peer IPv6 address on opnsense and I see both TX/RX traffic. But on client peer I see only TX, never got any packet back. Looks like WG server responses are lost.

Any idea how to diagnose/resolve this?

Thanks,
Kacper

Might need to adjust the MTU there, did you set any value for it ? Give it a shot with 1480

My experience with HE required a 1280 MTU. This was through a sonicwall though, just know that it took a while to figure out which value worked. The value you use has to divide by 8 evenly for it to work. (1280/8=160, no remainder) I am going to be setting up HE this week on this OPNSence firewall to replace the Sonicwall. So I am in here searching for others that have blazed the trail already.

I've seen 1280 being discussed on much older threads so I'd try it as an option if 1480 won't cut it.

By default i believe GIF interfaces on OPNsense are 1280mtu, but you can go to your Tunnel interface and set the MTU of that assigned interface to 1480 (if you have a WAN MTU of 1500, otherwise WAN MTU - 20 = Tunnel MTU).

Then you can goto the HE Tunnel broker site and confirm the MTU for that tunnel is set 1480 there as well, though I think it is by default.

Then if you had to set the MTU of the tunnel interface to less then 1480, then (Tunnel Interface MTU) - 60 = (Wireguard MTU), note this must be set on both Wireguard Clients/server.

Thanks guys for suggestions, but it turns out my ISP on mobile is a culprit. Actually it was working perfectly some time ago, but with pfsense, I made a switch to opnsense and it stopped working, so I assumed this is the problem. But it turns out in the same time my mobile ISP changed something on their end. I didn't have time to diagnose it further, but basically looks like the traffic is filtered...
