Personal "Go" on Essentials/Home(?) Not Working

I’ve been trying to route our two iPhones and one mobile computer through our home network so they will be protected when away from the network (like a private Adam:Go), using WireGuard.

At this point I’m able to connect to our home network but no traffic is moving through it. (E.g. I can’t reach Google.com.) I suspect that there’s something wrong with my pfSense settings; I created them from on-line instructions, but I’m doing it from rote rather than knowledge. Here are the pfSense settings:

  1. the Tunnel, showing the settings and the three eventual peers.

  2. Status, showing that my test peer has connected.

  3. WAN Rules, from one on-line instruction

  4. WireGuard Rules, from another on-line instruction

My iPhone settings in the WireGuard app are:
[Interface]
Name: FredPhone
Public key:
Addresses: 10.6.210.2/32
[Peer]
Public key:
Preshared key: enabled
Endpoint: 74.97.40.240:51820
Allowed IPs: 0.0.0.0/0

I’ve triple-checked the IPs, including finding a typo while typing this.
Any ideas? More detail on anything?
TIA, Fred

hey @Fred_H you’ll also need to setup outbound NAT in order to access the Internet via the WireGuard tunnel.

In case someone wants to do as I did, I’m attaching the NAT Outbound as sugested by atw above.


Finally, if you’re using iPhones, I recommend the Passepartout app although it’s expensive. It works for OpenVPN too. It switches off when we are on our home network for a bit more speed (although WireGuard seems to cost only 10%).

The official WireGuard app also has the ability to disconnect when on home wi-fi. It’s under the tunnel settings.
