Wireguard (Hap ac2 v7.9) IOS client problems

Sat May 27, 2023 9:53 pm

Hello,
Just setup the Wireguard on my Hap ac2 v7.9 according to the official guide for the RoadWarrior WireGuard tunnel:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... uardtunnel

The Windows 11 client works perfectly while another IOS client has some problems (the clients have different IP & KEYS):

often when attempting to connect the connection is established immediately but once or twice a day the connection seems to go trough but there is actually no handshake in the logs and an flood of data appears to happen either in Data Sent or Data Received (about 20-30MB / sec, which continues in perpetuity until I terminate the connection). After I need to activate and deactivate the IOS client multiple times before a real connection can happen (between 2-10 retries).

Also found that other Wireguard users had this but not on MT devices:
https://serverfault.com/questions/11297 ... iving-data
https://www.reddit.com/r/WireGuard/comm ... rk_on_ios/

Any of you had issues with IOS clients?
Tks.

/export config of MT device ( minus router serial number and any public wanip info, keys etc...)

Plus same for client IOS settings. ( minus public wanip information, keys etc.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

The good news is that you reports success on windows but not on IOS.
So also add your windows client settings ( minus any public wanip info, keys etc. )

All my IOS/OSX clients use always on VPN on «foreign» networks and they work flawless with wireguard.
I use iPhone, iPad, MAC books and Linux clients over 4G/5G, Wifi and wired to my hEX S (7.9.1).
There was no need to apply any special configuration to make it work.

Yes pertrada, we know it works when configured properly.
We need to see where the OP has gone astray.
If not, then his case needs to be reported.

Anav do not be so pedantic, OP asks : Any of you had issues with IOS clients?
Beside, he does not provide any config self as you earlier requested.

My config is basic as basic can be so no need to show it, right from the text book.

have a nice day

Without seeing config of OP, nobody can know how textbook that one is.
Since it doesn't work, most likely a config issue.

The devil is in the details...

Well truth be told your post is a total waste of space, look at me, mine works --> wanta cookie?
If there were issues with IOS setups then the forum would be full with posters complaining.

"Well truth be told your post is a total waste of space, look at me, mine works --> wanta cookie?"

If this is directed to me, then take a minute to reflect on what you answer people on this forum.
The above is valid for some other (self acclaimed) gurus on the forum as well.
It makes the atmosphere hostile and not very inviting.
My famous last words!

Have nice weekend.

have you group hug and Glad you let everyone know that your IOS is working,

In the meantime, the OP still needs to provide facts/evidence or the OP is wasting our time.
