[Fixed] Weird Wireguard issues I could use some help with. (lemmy.procrastinati.org)

I've hit a wall with a weird Wireguard issue. I'm trying to connect my phone (over cell) to my home router using wireguard and it will not connect.

  • The keys are all correct.
  • The IPs are all correct.
  • The ports are open on the firewall.
  • My router has a public IP, no CGNAT.

The router is opnsense, I have a tcpdump session going and when I attempt a connection from the phone I see 0 packets on that port. I am able to ping the router and reach the web server sitting behind it from the phone.

I have a VPS that I configured WG on and the phone connects fine to that. I also tested configuring the VPS to connect to my home router and that also works fine.

I'm really at a loss as to where to go next.

Edit 2: I completely blew out the config on both sides and rebuilt it from scratch, using a different UDP port, and it all appears to be working now. Thanks for everyone's help in tracking this down.

Edit: It was requested I provide my configs.

opnsense:

I didn't think the wg-quick conf is compatible but I'll look into that in the am.

For the love of all that is holy

At least change the interface IP. I multiboot my laptop and when I copied a wg.conf being lazy, the server basically ignored the newer client. I had to boot back into the OG OS and add a peer via ssh. I'm still learning wg but don't count on clones interfaces working.

All I meant was, it hadn't occurred to me that the android app and wg-quick used the same file format. I can certainly give this a try.
