[Solved] Can't connect to host after enabling WireGuard tunnel
I installed WireGuard on my host and set this configuration /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf:
[Interface]
Address = 10.0.0.1/24
ListenPort = 51820
PrivateKey = [REDACTED]
PostUp = iptables -A FORWARD -i %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ens3 -j MASQUERADE
PostDown = iptables -D FORWARD -i %i -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o ens3 -j MASQUERADE

PresharedKey = [REDACTED]
AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.2/32

I also cannot connect to host via ssh. How to fix this issue?
Upd. Fixed my changing server WireGuard IP to 10.0.1.1. 10.0.0.1 was already taken
Because the default route is changing. You have ALL traffic being routed over Wireguard here. How would you expect that to allow the interface routing to work for the local network if you're telling this to punt all traffic to this specific connection?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the other way around? All Wireguard traffic is forwarded to the local interface.
AllowdIPs defines the traffic to be routed. These are single IPs, not subnets.
Edit: discussion talking about this same problem to illustrate: https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/split-tunnel-via-vpn-policy-or-via-wireguard-allowedips-config/31318
I don't think that's what the setting does. Anyway, I have them set to a /32 IP in my server config and it works nonetheless. I get full access to the /24 behind the server from the client.
That's exactly what it does. Easy to see if OP new how to read their route tables.
Here's another: https://serverfault.com/questions/1102455/wireguard-policy-based-routing
What are you trying to say? That reply also shows AllowedIPs set to a /32 on the server side.
For Peers. There's no other route in OPs post. Like they said, when wg0 goes up, he can't reach anything else. All that happens is this interface comes out, changes the routing tables and forwarding, but doesn't go anywhere. It needs to be routed to the existing default gateway of the host. All this does is blackhole to the wg0 interface.
Like I said in another thread on this post, I'm pretty sure that's because they are forwarding input but not output in the PostUp rules. Setting a /32 in AllowedIPs works fine for me.
Thanks for help. Everything is fixed, read post update
Oh yeah, can't use the same IP range as your LAN, that will lead to problems. :D Glad it's fixed.
Out of curiosity, does forwarding work now without the output (-o) command in PostUp?
I left PostUp as is and didn't try removing -o))
What "other route" are you expecting to see? My configuration looks very similar to OPs though I have an extra iptables entry in PostUp:
Is that what you mean?
Thanks for help. Everything is fixed, read post update
I removed all PostUp rules and cleared iptables but still the same problem
Well, I mean...I can't give you an entire tutorial on how Wireguard works here, but you have it way wrong.
If you're not sure of the concepts and what you're trying to do, I don't know how to answer any questions for you. If you're not familiar with what split-tunneling, subnet routing, and routing tables...you need to get way familiar before you start messing with this.
Your rules aren't the problem. You're only allowing a single IP at a time across many connections here. Learn to read your routing tables and debug from there.
I think the problem might be your PostUp/PostDown lines have an in-interface (-i) but are missing an out-interface (-o) for the forwarding. Try this:
What does your client config look like? What IP are you connecting to for nmap/ssh?
I didn't connect any client yet.
Ah - I see.
I can never remember how all the
iptablesstuff works but here is what I have in my configuration which is basically attempting the same thing:Mine's a little different and works for me.
