No traffic goes through when Wireguard VPN is active

[zod076]

Hi, I've followed the RethinkDNS guide on setting up Wireguard. I chose to Import the config. Under Advance, I pick 2 apps(browsers) to route through the VPN to test.

With the Wireguard VPN in active state and rdns mode set to recommended(dns+firewall), visiting any sites results in no response from server error message. Sometimes I get lookup taking too long error(dns).

I've tried stopping rdns, force closing the app, opening rdns and starting rdns again but to no avail.

When I disable and delete the Wireguard profile and just rely on dns+firewall everything works.

What could be happening ?

Btw, if I use the same Wireguard config with the official Wireguard app on Android, it works.

Does your WireGuard config contain domain name for the Peer endpoint? If so, this is currently broken but fixed in the upcoming version v055o. You can opt to remove the domain name and use IP address instead.

Another reason could be that the WireGuard profile you're running is IPv6-only but the underlying network (wifi or mobile) is IPv4-only (or vice versa). This doesn't cause problems with official WireGuard app because it runs only ONE WireGuard tunnel at a time (unlike Rethink which can run multiple when in Advanced mode).

If so, see if switching WireGuard to Simple mode and fixes the issue you're seeing?
