Setup WireGuard Site to Site VPN Tunnel on pfsense 2.7.2 This guide was inspired by Marcus Rath Introduction This guide will walk you through setting up a WireGuard site to site  VPN tunnel on pfsense 2.7.2. For this guide we assume Site A with a network subnet of 192.168.1.0/24, Site B with a network subnet of 192.168.24.0/24 and a Tunnel Subnet of 10.10.12.0/30. Obviously adjust these settings to your specific needs. Ensure that the Tunnel Subnet you choose does NOT overlap with any other network subnets currently in use in your network environment. Install WireGuard Package on Both Sites On BOTH site pfsense installations, install the WireGuard package from System ---> Package Manager ---> Available Packages. Enter Wireguard in the Search term field, click search and then click on the Install button next to WireGuard package (Figure  1). Figure 1 Create Tunnel on Site A On Site A, refresh the pfsense web GUI and navigate to VPN ---> Wireguard, click on the Tunnels tab and then click on Add Tunnel button (Figure 2). Figure 2 In the Tunnel Configuration fill/set in the following fields (Figure 3): Enable: Checked Description: Optionally, describe the purpose of this tunnel (Ex: Tunnel to Site B) Listen Port: Leave blank to use port UDP/51820 or enter a specific port number you with to use Interface Keys: click the Generate button to create a new Private/Public key pair and copy the Public Key that's generated in order to enter it in the Public Key field on Site B. Click the Save Tunnel button Figure 3 Create Tunnel on Site B On Site B, refresh the pfsense web GUI and navigate to VPN ---> Wireguard, click on the Tunnels tab and then click on Add Tunnel button (Figure 4). Figure 4 In the Tunnel Configuration fill/set in the following fields (Figure 5): Enable: Checked Description: Optionally, describe the purpose of this tunnel(Ex: Tunnel to Site A)  Listen Port: Leave blank to use port UDP/51820 or enter a specific port number you with to use Interface Keys: click the Generate button to create a new Private/Public key pair and copy the Public Key that's generated in order to enter it in the Public Key field on Site B. Click the Save Tunnel button Figure 5 Enable WireGuard on Both Sites On BOTH sites, navigate to VPN ---> WireGuard, click on the Settings tab and click on the Enable WireGuard checkbox, select Only Unassigned Tunnels on the Interface Group Membership drop-down and then click on the Save button (Figure 6). Figure 6 Add Peer on Site A On Site A, navigate to VPN ---> WireGuard, click on the Peers tab and then click on the Add Peer button (Figure 7). Figure 7 In the Peer Configuration fill/set in the following fields (Figure 8): Enable: Checked Tunnel: Select the Tunnel previously configured from the drop-down list Description: Optionally, describe the purpose of this Peer (Ex: Peer to Site B) Dynamic Endpoint: Unchecked Endpoint: Fill in the Internet IP or Hostname as well as the port number for Site B Public Key: Paste the previously copied Public Key from the Tunnel on Site B Pre-shared Key: Click the Generate button to generate a new pre-shared key and copy it in order to paste in the Peer configuration of Site B Allowed IPs: Enter an UNUSED Network address (Example: 10.10.12.0) with a CIDR of 30 (For a total of two IPs) in the first field, click the Add Allowed IP and then enter the Network Address and corresponding CIDR of the subnet for Site B Click the Save Peer button Figure 8 Add Peer on Site B On Site B, navigate to VPN ---> WireGuard, click on the Peers tab and then click on the Add Peer button (Figure 9). Figure 9 In the Peer Configuration fill/set in the following fields (Figure 10): Enable: Checked Tunnel: Select the Tunnel previously configured from the drop-down list Description: Optionally, describe the purpose of this Peer (Ex: Peer to Site A) Dynamic Endpoint: Unchecked Endpoint: Fill in the Internet IP or Hostname as well as the port number for Site A Public Key: Paste the previously copied Public Key from the Tunnel on Site A Pre-shared Key:  Paste the previously copied Pre-Shared key from the Peer on Site A Allowed IPs: Enter the SAME Tunnel Subnet Network address and CIDR you set on the Peer on Site A, click the Add Allowed IP and then enter the Network Address and corresponding CIDR of the subnet for Site A Click the Save Peer button Figure 10 Configure Interface for Site A On Site A, navigate to Interfaces ---> Assignments and under Available network ports drop-down select the WireGuard tunnel you previously created and click the Add button (Figure 11). Figure 11 Click on the new OPT(X) interface that was just created (Figure 12). Figure 12 In the General Configuration page fill/set the following fields (Figure 13): Enable: Checked Description: Optionally, describe the purpose of this Interface (Ex: Tunnel to Site B) IPv4 Configuration Type: Static IPv4 IPv4 Address: Enter an IP address for Site A. The IP address you enter here will be one of two possible IP addresses you can use from the /30 Tunnel Subnet you chose earlier. For this example, we used the Subnet Tunnel of 10.10.12.0/30 which gives us 10.10.12.1 and 10.10.12.2 as the only two usable IPs for this subnet. So, for this example we will use 10.10.12.1 for Site A. Click the Save button and then click the Apply Changes button. Figure 13 Configure Interface for Site B On Site B, navigate to Interfaces ---> Assignments and under Available network ports drop-down select the WireGuard tunnel you previously created and click the Add button (Figure 14). Figure 14 Click on the new OPT(X) interface that was just created (Figure 15). Figure 15 In the General Configuration page fill/set the following fields (Figure 16): Enable: Checked Description: Optionally, describe the purpose of this Interface (Ex: Tunnel to Site A) IPv4 Configuration Type: Static IPv4 IPv4 Address: Enter an IP address for Site B. The IP address you enter here will be one of two possible IP addresses you can use from the /30 Tunnel Subnet you chose earlier. For this example, we used the Subnet Tunnel of 10.10.12.0/30 which gives us 10.10.12.1 and 10.10.12.2 as the only two usable IPs for this subnet. So, for this example we will use 10.10.12.2 for Site B. Click the Save button and then click the Apply Changes button. Figure 16 Create Gateway and Route on Site A On Site A navigate to System ---> Routing and under the Gateways tab click the Add button (Figure 17).

For this example we used 10.10.12.1 for Site A. Description: Optionally, enter a description (Ex: Wireguard Gateway to Site A) Click the Save button and then click the Apply Changes button. Figure 22 Next, on Site B navigate to System ---> Routing and under the Static Routes tab click the Add button (Figure 23). Figure 23 In the Edit Route Entry page, fill/set the following fields (Figure 24): Destination network: Enter the network subnet for Site A (NOT the tunnel subnet). In this example, the network subnet we used for Site A was 192.168.1.0/24. Gateway: Select the Gateway to Site A you created earlier Description: Optionally, enter a description (Ex: Route to Site A) Click the Save button and then click the Apply Changes button. Figure 24 Add Firewall Rules on BOTH Firewalls On BOTH firewalls, navigate to Firewall ---> Rules and under the WAN tab, click the Add button. In the Edit Firewall Rule page, fill/set the following fields (Figure 25).

Figure 25 On BOTH firewalls, navigate to Firewall ---> Rules and under the TUNNELTOSITE(X) tab, click the Add button. In the Edit Firewall Rule page, fill/set the following fields (Figure 25). Action: Pass Interface: Ensure the interface you created earlier for each site is already selected Address Family: IPv4 Protocol: Any (Start with Any and then you can tighten the rules further after you ensure tunnel is working properly) Source: Any (Start with Any and then you can tighten the rules further after you ensure tunnel is working properly) Destination: Any (Start with Any and then you can tighten the rules further after you ensure tunnel is working properly) Destination Port Range: Any (Start with Any and then you can tighten the rules further after you ensure tunnel is working properly) Log: Optionally, check to Log packets that are handled by this rule Description: Optionally, enter a description (Ex: Wireguard Traffic Site A and Site B) Click the Save button and then click the Apply Changes button. Figure 25 Check the Wireguard Status On BOTH firewalls navigate to Status ---> Wireguard, locate the WireGuard tunnel you created, expand it and ensure the Peers are connected on BOTH firewalls (Figure 26). Figure 26 Additionally, ensure you can ping and access resources on each remote network from the corresponding site.
