Hi,
I will start by saying Wireguard stopped working because I did something I shouldn't. Reason I am posting is because I would like to recommend or help make the UI better at type checking.
For some reason, after creating a few clients, I decided to add a pre shared key for extra security. Only, I created my own, same length, key without thinking. Then I force rebooted the OPNSense Machine to move plugs around. When it came back up Wireguard stopped working. I immediately thought it was because I just pulled the power cord like a dumbass. So, began panicking because Wireguard no longer functioned. Under status, My instance looked broken. I first did a restore from latest backup. Same problem. Next day, I decided to rebuild OPNSense completely, restore from backup. Same problem. I googled everything I could think of. Finally, finally, finally I read the logs close enough and read "your Peer Preshared key is invalid". Then I went, OHHHHH! I created that key myself!!! Dumb ass!!!. Deleted the key, used the generate button. Boom. Everything worked again like it should.
So I realize I created this issue myself, just would like the see the UI help a little more and stop dumbasses like myself from inintentially / unknowingly screwing things up that the service won't even run.
