Title: Wireguard: OpnSense as a client only
Post by: fmstrat on July 25, 2025, 07:32:44 PM

Hi all,

I can't seem to figure this out from the docs, as they all seem to focus on running a Wireguard server, not a Wireguard client. I run a non-OpnSense Wireguard server, and have a peer config of:

```
[Interface]
Address = 192.168.14.8
PrivateKey = aaa=
ListenPort = 51820
DNS = 192.168.3.202

[Peer]
PublicKey = bbb=
PresharedKey = ccc=
Endpoint = vpn.domain.ext:51820
AllowedIPs = 192.168.6.0/24
```

I would usually put this into client software, but I want to set up a client in OpnSense that will route any traffic to 192.168.6.x from my LAN net through the VPN. However, no matter what I try I never see a connection attempt from OpnSense on the remote endpoint.

Hah, of course I get it working right after posting. The only thing missing now is getting clients on the LAN routing traffic through it.
