Wireguard connections bound to specific WAN interface
«

I'm having a bit of trouble setting up two wireguard client connections, with two different WAN interfaces.
I have WAN1 and WAN2, two independent connections to the internet. WAN2 generally has higher bandwidth and is the preferred connection in my gateway group for WAN_FAILOVER.
I have two wireguard clients configured. WG_WAN1 and WG_WAN2. These connect to two separate endpoints. I want WG_WAN1 to only connect via WAN1 and WG_WAN2 to only connect via WAN2. So far I've achieved this by adding static routes to their endpoint IPs, defining which interface I want to route the traffic on.
Now normally this works great and everything functions as expected. The trouble I run into is when WAN2 goes down for any appreciable time and things failover to WAN1. Initially I see WG_WAN2 go down as expected, but if WAN2 stays down for a while, eventually WG_WAN2 will come back up, routed through WAN1. This is the part that I do
not
want to happen.
I do have default gateway switching turned on in the firewall, as I want traffic originated from it to handle a single WAN failure (for DNS). Everything else is policy routed through my gateway groups and works great. I believe that a static route should have precedence over discovered routes, but I may be wrong there.
I should also add that I'm running these wireguard clients with their own assigned interfaces, if that wasn't obvious from context.
Am i missing a crucial element in how to bind a WG client to a particular WAN interface in a failover setup?

Can you install the kmod pkg? Usually wireguard take routing table to send packets and not Pf. Maybe kmod helps here

Sorry, I
definitely
should have mentioned that in my initial post as well. I am using the kmod implementation. That slipped my mind as I've been using it basically the entire time I've been using wireguard.

Can you try floating rules, source WAN address, source port wg, Gateway WAN, outbound direction. Same for WAN2. I think the validation was removed some time ago

This is a novel idea! I just got it setup and it hasn't broken anything, so I'll rock it for a while and see what happens. Thanks much, I appreciate all you do around here!
