I would like to try to setup a NetBSD 11 laptop for use with the ProtonVPN Wireguard service and I'm wondering if that is currently possible with the current state of NetBSD's Wireguard using wgconfig(8) ? For manual Wireguard Proton VPN setup one typically makes some selections in their web interface then downloads a config file [1]. I've done this and tried to follow the examples in the wg(4) manpage based on said config file contents (see below). So far, the best I can achieve is a momentary handshake and only if I add an IPv6 address to --allowed-ips argument string for wgconf(8). What has been done: 1) added "if_wg" to /etc/modules.conf to load at startup 2) made a setup script using proton.conf[1] as guide: #! /bin/sh -e # wg_create # if ( 2>1 ifconfig wg0 >/dev/null ) then echo 'wireguard interface already configured.' else echo 'setting up wireguard interface..' sleep 1 sudo ifconfig wg0 create sudo ifconfig wg0 inet 10.2.0.2/32 # /etc/wg/wg0 contains just the Proton PrivateKey sudo wgconfig wg0 set private-key /etc/wg/wg0 sudo wgconfig wg0 add peer Proton '<Proton PublicKey>' \ --allowed-ips=0.0.0.0/0,::/0 --endpoint=<Proton Endpoint:Port> sudo ifconfig wg0 up fi --- After running wg_create and pinging some random address I can see that there was at least a momentary handshake made: $ ifconfig wg0 wg0: flags=0x8041<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1420 status: active inet6 fe80::725a:b6ff:fe65:5d38%wg0/64 flags 0 scopeid 0x4 inet 10.2.0.2/32 flags 0 $ wgconfig wg0 interface: wg0 private-key: (hidden) listen-port: (none) peer: Proton public-key: *************************************** endpoint: 212.***.**.***:5**** preshared-key: (hidden) allowed-ips: 0.0.0.0/0 latest-handshake: Sat Sep 27 01:15:43 2025 However an IPv4 ping fails: $ ping -n 10.2.0.2 PING 10.2.0.2 (10.2.0.2): 56 data bytes ----10.2.0.2 PING Statistics---- 15 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss I can also see that a route gateway has been created: $ route -n show |head Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Mtu Interface default 192.168.1.1 UG - - - urtwn0 10.2.0.2 wg0 UHl - - - wg0 10.2.0.2/32 10.2.0.2 U - - - wg0 127/8 127.0.0.1 UGRS - - 33624 lo0 127.0.0.1 lo0 UHl - - 33624 lo0 192.168.1/24 link#2 UC - - - urtwn0 My understanding is that changing the default route shouldn't be needed with wireguard and doing so via 'sudo route -f add default 10.2.0.2' consistently hangs the system.. Am I missing something or is this sort of use just not achievable at this time? BTW, I tried installing the wireguard-tools package but this package really doesn't seem to be for NetBSD at all. -B -- refs: [1] # proton.conf [Interface] # Key for wg-proton # Bouncing = 1 # NetShield = 1 # Moderate NAT = off # VPN Accelerator = on PrivateKey = ******************************************* Address = 10.2.0.2/32 DNS = 10.2.0.1 [Peer] # US-ST#42 PublicKey = ******************************************** AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0 Endpoint = 212.***.**.***:5****
