Hello everyone,

`netstat -r` shows the correct IPv6 default gateway, but traffic is not routed. The gateway is reachable and works(tested with a different, not-OPNsene device).

I checked the firewall logs, the ping attempts went through.

ping from client in `fc00:4::/64`:

I am a bit at a loss, based on my testing it has to be the router not routing. But how does that make sense, the gateway is set. Would really appreciate any ideas/insights on what I could have missed here. Thanks in advance :)

Best regards

EDIT: My WireGuard endpoint config didn't have `::/0` in allowed IPs, adding that solved it.
