- Wireguard plugin spams my config history multiple times a day. What is it doing? How can I prevent it?
- Wireguard package 0.1.5_4 is out
- WireGuard safe to use?
- How reliable is wireguard on OPNsense for 50+ simultaneous connexions ?

Low power device for 1gig internet
WireGuard will be less resource intensive and give you closer to line speeds on HP T620 level hardware, use the WireGuard kernel-mod package from /u/vbman213 which was just released with pfSense plus latest and will be in the upcoming pfSense CE 2.5.2, but can be sideloaded into 2.5.1. That should be able to handle close to 1g with pfblocker. CPU intensive Packet IDS like suricata/snort would knock this level hardware back a good bit though.
- Since pfsense doesn't support wireguard any more, I want a VM to just serve as a router for wireguard / anonymous VPN traffic. Then have pfsense route a subnet of traffic through the wireguard router. What's the best software to do this?
- WireGuard Returns to pfSense as Experimental Package
-
Wireguard with Proxmox server
Note that wireguard was removed in v2.5.1. You'll need to copy the txz packages from the latest release here to your pfsense install via sftp, then pkg install name.txz to install wireguard

Disabling the firewall via the shell
Sounds nuts but, for automated changes to pfsense, I would install the fauxapi and then call it with curl.
