Hi Holvoe perhaps you understand the requirement a bit better. 1.

Post both configs to see what is going on. /export file=anynameyouwish ( minus router serial number, any public WANIP information, keys etc.).

Very similar in some regards......... one needs an input chain rule to allow the wireguard port to hit the router itself.

The rule of thumb when controlling both ends IS to match MTU, I think the default is 1420 not 1500 on the MT.
In any case, if one know the MTU setting at the other end, the first thing to try is matching it on the MT.
Then the rules above.

My understanding is, at least for wireguard, if your router is the client for handshake, typically to 3rd party providers, then one can use either of these two settings, and depending upon the provider one may work better than the other. I have not heard of adding this setting to the Server (for han...

Apparently ARP is a very viable method of what you are doing with it. Similar to ping and the only difference is ARP would not be used recursive routing which is where I am used to it being used.
