Wireguard Group still there?

[LisaMT]

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

[franco]

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.

or is just merely stating it is available?

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.
