Title: Wireguard configuration with new rules
Post by: marcels on March 25, 2026, 07:08:11 PM
Hello All,

I have a new installation Opnsense 26.1 with 5 VLANs and configured rules using "new rules". Working well. Now I would like to add Wireguard to access my home network from mobile to Plex server. All tutorials are using former rules but not a new. So question is what is differences between setup with former rules and new?
Is there in 26.1 some automatically created rules when wireguard is enabled? I would like to ask you to point me how to proceed in 26.1.
Thanks a lot

Firewall: Rules [new] work great, and since this is a new setup, definitely use 'new'. The docs just need to be updated, at some point. No rules are created automatically. Also, this might be useful?

Thanks a lot for reply. I try to play. It is necessary also to create normalization rules?

Yes, create a normalization rule.
