Title: Wireguard connection not stable
Post by: pickone on May 26, 2026, 11:00:12 AM
Hello!

I have a "small" issue... I'm not exactly sure what's happening. I don't remember whether this issue was occurring before as well, but I know 100% that it has been happening very frequently for several weeks now.

I have a WireGuard VPN on my OPNsense router, and I have my phone connected to the VPN. I leave a continuous ping running to the router, and I often get timeouts to the router. I don't understand why... When ping gives me only timeout without recover by itself, I need to restart the VPN connection from the phone, in order to work again... This applies for any other devices, not only phone...

The configuration is standard; I don't have anything fancy set up. On top of that, I even tried a "fix" from GitHub where they suggested switching outbound NAT to hybrid mode and manually setting the VPN rules, but it didn't help at all...

What other details are needed, or maybe someone already know a good fix for this?
