Wireguard Group still there?

I switched from Wireguard to OpenVPN, and the wireguard group is still showing.  How can I remove it?


The group should disappear when WireGuard is globally disabled.

If it's not removed right away there may be a sync call missing, but let's make sure that wireguard is globally disabled first.

Globally removed?  I've removed the instances and it's still there.  I'll see if I missed something.  I remember when I was installing it there were some other changes.  Thanks for the help.

That's why I said you need to disable the global wireguard enable toggle. Removing all instances is not enough for the group to disappear.

Just checked, I still show a wireguard group.  Maybe you could give some details on finding that 'global wireguard enable toggle'?

Ok so:

1. Firewall: Rules: WireGuard (Group)

will be there when wireguard is enabled globally, removed when not enabled. The legacy behaviour injects groups into the config.xml.

2. Firewall: Groups

will always list wireguard since it's a static group definition and ignore the absence in config.xml in the MVC/API code

3. Firewall: Rules [new]

will always list wireguard since same as 2.

Happy to look into it further if someone wants to raise a ticket. Chances are that the new static behaviour is preferred, but it should be discussed clearly to be sure.
