Retried with the IP address and it worked.

Used the new endpoint address and still getting "name does resolve ". What is the format using the ip address instead? Do I need to add the port number?

Windscribe AI chat provided the answer.
"Yeah, you nailed it — the name change is what's biting you here. The New York – Empire location used to use different endpoint hostnames that recently got updated during our infrastructure refresh. The newer naming convention (whiskergalaxy.com) replaced the older one, so your old config references a domain that's no longer resolving.
Here's how to fix it:
Go to the Config Generator.
Re‑generate a fresh WireGuard config for New York – Empire — don't reuse the old one."

Having a Wireguard endpoint address issue on
26.1.8_5 but not on 25.7.11_9. Also using AdGuard but zero problem on 25.7
This is the wireguard log. Any suggestions?

/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/wireguard/wg-service-control.php:
The command </usr/bin/wg syncconf 'wg1' '/usr/local/etc/wireguard/wg1.conf'>
returned exit code 1 and the output was "Name does not resolve:
`jfk-384-wg.whiskergalaxy.com:80' Configuration parsing error"

Yes, make sure you are on 26.1.1 and run this from the console:

# opnsense-patch 4912a67

Thanks, did it last night and it helped and works !

What WiFi card are u using in opnsense 26.1.1? I want to do the same thing.

Is there a recommended WiFi 7 card that is opnsense compatible?

It's 1.16 - what exactly is the problem?

Just asking. Thanks

What is the latest version of os-adguardhome-maxit (installed)   1.16? How do I get the latest? How do I upgrade?

From what version are you upgrading? And after you enter '26.1' (not 'y') did you see some changelog text?

Hi there,

For over 11 years now, OPNsense is driving innovation through
modularising and hardening the open source firewall, with simple
and reliable firmware upgrades, multi-language support, fast adoption
of upstream software updates, modern IPv6 support, as well as clear
and stable 2-Clause BSD licensing.

26.1, nicknamed "Witty Woodpecker", features almost a full firewall
MVC/API experience as automation rules have been promoted to the new
rules GUI, Suricata version 8 with inline inspection mode using "divert",
assorted IPv6 reliability and feature improvements, router advertisements
MVC/API, full code shell command escaping revamp, default IPv6
mode now using Dnsmsaq for client connectivity, Unbound blocklist source
selection, an automatic host discovery service, plus much more.

etc,etc,etc

8 for shell?

When I do 8 for shell, I get a command prompt and there is no 12 for console update.

Putty ssh, login as root, menu select 12, 26.1 nothing happens. Also how do get out of the displayed info?  Ctrl-z and ctrl-c do not work.

I am a noob. The problem is that I have to do a power switch to reset WG.  How do I reset WG more easily? Somethings I have to do several reboots to get WG connect.

How do restart wireguard from the dashboard lobby widget?

Fixed. Surricata was blocking the ssh connection.
