Thanks both for the feedback. I will try to add and see how it effects the connection.

Virtual private networks / WireGuard client cannot communicate anywhere after some amount of time
« on: October 09, 2023, 09:20:06 am »
Hello all,
I've configured Wireguard on my OpnSense following the Road Warrior Guide (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/wireguard-client.html). I'm able to connect and everything works but after a while (doesn't seem like a consistent period of time) I'm unable to communicate with any address (both tunnel addresses or any other address). This can be usually be resolved by disconnecting and reconnecting to the tunnel.
I've seen some posts discussing adding a KEEPALIVE to the configuration and I haven't tried that yet but to my understanding that should be used when you need to keep traffic coming in to your client which is behind a NAT and the mapping is removed from the firewall. I don't understand why that would prevent outgoing traffic from my client.
Any tips from more experienced folks would be much appreciated.
