I have experience this. I delete and recreate device with same name but did not update in my client config. In my client it say connected but there is no connection. Perhaps can try recreate device and import the new config to client wg program again?

@chongnt I'm starting to think you are correct on this and I am not actually connected at all. I deleted wg21 and recreated.

Code:

E:Option ==> peer wg21

    Peers (Auto=P - Policy, Auto=X - External i.e. Cell/Mobile)

Server  Auto  Subnet        Port   Public                                        Private                                       Annotate
wg21    N     10.50.1.1/24  11501    # RT-AX88U Server 1

However, when I add a peer/device, and connect from the device:

Code:

paul@RT-AX88U-6948:/tmp/home/root# wg show wg21
interface: wg21
  public key: 
  private key: (hidden)
  listening port: 11501

There are no peers listed so even though WireGuard says it is connected on my Samsung phone, the peer is not actually connected. I looked at the app logs and it's repeating "Sending handshake initiation" and then "Handshake did not complete" repeatedly.

I wondered then if I should be opening any ports for this so I opened port 11501 as its the listening port but it didn't make any difference, same issue. Any ideas?

The peer device public key for wg21 should be displayed with the command "wg show wg21" even if it is not connected. Have you create your phone as peer device for wg21 in wg_manager?
You can do it like this, it will ask if you want to generate a QR code. In your phone wg apps, you can select create from QR code.

Code:

E:Option ==> 9 Samsung

@chongnt I've done a lot of testing now and also with two clients and it finally, finally, seems like it is working 100%.

Thank you and also @ZebMcKayhan for all of your help.

Would you mindre sharing what the problem was so others could benefit?

After fixing the rules from before to get wg11 working, there was no extra steps for wg21. @chongnt confirmed he had the same settings as I so I deleted and re-added wg21, as well as regenerating the peer configs. I also updated to the latest wgm dev code which may have helped in some way. However, I did compare the "ip rule" and "wg show" output and it looks the same but may in some way helped it along.

I’m glad you got it working too. The wg client application status can be misleading. Active doesn’t necessarily mean peering with server is successful. Client will simply forward traffic to that interface and gets blackhole.

I'm seeing an error:

Code:

E:Option ==> 4 wg11

        Requesting WireGuard VPN Peer start (wg11)

        wireguard-clientwg11: Initialising Wireguard VPN 'client' Peer (wg11) to engage.cloudflareclient.com:2408 (# Cloudflare Warp) DNS=192.168.1.1

        WireGuard ACTIVE Peer Status: Clients 1, Servers 0

How can I resolve this?

I had this when I upgraded versions also. I guess the internal DB has a different schema. I don't think it will cause you problems but as part of my troubleshooting, I ended up deleting and re-adding and that fixed the error.

There have been som changes in the database needed for produce right stats from 4.11b7 and onwards.

I've noticed access to LAN from my wifi network tied to wg11 stopped at some point. Saving the two way access settings in YazFi again on the router admin panel seems to make it work. Other than that though, it's working fine. I suspect its something with YazFi..

Also, is there a way to delete devices from wgm? I've tested to remove the files but the devices are still present when you type "peer" and get the device list.

I have been having similar issues after updating yazfi and since the great @Jack Yaz is really productive the updates are short in between. However a simple reboot has always fixed this.
I figured it is re-applying firewall rules which now may be in different orders but never really investigated further.
Have you updated yazfi in the time area (-ish) when it stopped working?

Haven't touched anything related to the router config at all so unsure what triggered it. I also suspected something changed with the rules either being changed or removed. Saving on the YazFi page or rebooting restores the access to internal lan from the wifi. In any case, it's not a big issue at all. Good to know I am not the only one experiencing it!

If the Peer menu option '8' syntax description doesn't suffice...

Code:

To delete device properly, use the command above by @Martineau
example

Code:

 E:Option ==> peer MyPhone del

If you have removed say MyPhone.conf from /opt/etc/wireguard.d/, I think you will get error when try to run the above command. In case this happen, create back a blank file with MyPhone.conf in that directory, then run the peer del command in wgm again.

If there is a mismatch i.e. the database doesn't match the expected existence of the physical files (due to the unexpected manual erasure of the '.conf' file

) then specify

Bash:

peer peer_name delX

and the script will force the database entry deletion without the need to recreate blank files.

I've deleted all of my previous devices created from testing but have noticed a few of these entries:

Code:

Is the previous devices assigned to 1.3 in the database still? The peer keys for each are different.

As you have several Road-Warrior 'client' Peers with the same IP (10.50.1.3/32), back in early June I applied the patch

Update wg_manager.sh · MartineauUK/wireguard@07b7372

FIX: Creation of a new Road-Warrior 'device' may assign an existing VPN Pool IP already allocated to another Road-Warrior device. CHANGE: Display Road-Warrior 'device' SQL table ...

So rather than tediously hack the SQL tables, I suggest you uninstall and reinstall the latest beta

Will that also wipe all of my configs?

Martineau · Jul 9, 2021

Unfortunately yes, but you only appear to be creating a single associated Road-Warrior 'client' Peer which is easily recreated (albeit with a different key-pair) for the default WireGuard 'server' Peer?

However, if you have '.config' files (either custom or provided by your WireGuard ISP), you can save them and reimport them into the SQL database.

Alternatively, you can obviously hack/modify the relevant SQL tables (there are examples in the thread how use SQL commands DROP/DELETE/UPDATE) edit 'wg21.conf' to remove the invalid entries.
