WG handshake not completing when using 2nd router behind opnsense

[fat_flying_pigs]

Hi there, I'm new to opnsense and am slowly re-building my network. My setup currently works with normal internet. It uses two routers, one Opnsense for my homelab stuff, and one tplink for my roommate / general wifi use. This is a drawn image of my network: (see first attachment below)

I have managed to set up and correctly use WG with my phone using cell data. It also work if I tether my laptop to my cell data. However, when I connect either of them to the wifi, WG will fail to handshake, retrying every 5 seconds.

I've examined the logs and I'm not really sure where or why it's failing. I changed the dns on the wg client to use 8.8.4.4, and logs show it properly going out:

Logs don't show anymore information, at least from what I can gather. The VPN -> Wireguard -> Status does show the transfer numbers increasing for both received and sent. So I'm thinking maybe for some reason the data is getting dropped?

Code Select Expand


peer: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=
  preshared key: (hidden)
  endpoint: 10.121.4.7:49543
  allowed ips: 10.120.2.7/32
  transfer: 127.04 KiB received, 78.97 KiB sent


Lastly here are my relevant interface firewall rules:

Any advice would be appreciated! I've been trying most everything I can think of with no success, thanks!

I'm not sure if this is the only problem, but it doesn't look like you have added the 192.168.0.1 network as an allowable network in the wireguard set up.

Usually to keep your sanity you want to run from NAT not use it ;D (may I ask why did you enable NAT on the TP-link?, U already have a VLAN -NAT doesn't mean security- )
Well back to your question if you want to access your wireguard server from within the network (LAN side), then you can either use

• Use NAT reflection:https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/nat.html ( an explanation here : https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/fp9h1f/can_someone_explain_to_me_what_is_nat_reflection/)
• or you can use spilt-horizon DNS (External queries are replied to with the public ip, while the internal queries with the private ip, u can achieve this with unbound's override -given that you have a public domain ofcourse-)
