I am trying to setup a wireguard server on freebsd using this guide. the only thing i’ve done different is make the AllowedIPs 0.0.0.0/0
I seem to have messed something up because when I have wireguard running, i cannot ping or curl anything from the server. It doesn’t take down the machine though, I am still able to ssh into the server.
I still have yet to get the client to actually connect, but i assume this networking issue is a potential cause. googling doesn’t seem to help me find anyone with my same issue.
my wg0.conf is as follows
[Interface] Address = 10.96.100.1/32 # address the server will bind to
ListenPort = 51820 # listener port
PrivateKey = [redacted]
[Peer] #phone
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
PreSharedKey = [redacted]
PublicKey = [redacted]

By setting AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0 you configure the server to route everything over your phone. It should only be set to the VPN ip of the phone.
Well ill be darned. Thank you
Yeah I’ve always found that
AllowedIPs
name a little bit misleading. It is mentioned in the manpage:But I think it’s a little funny how setting
AllowedIPs
also configures how packets are routed. I dunno.
