Winner, winner, chicken dinner. The first modern and recent tutorial that got me up and running where all of your settings pages matched mine and you explained what goes where. I used an iPhone, but adapted it and it worked. Subscribed because of this. Thanks!

Having the side-by-side with the notepad window and the Wireguard Windows client near the end was very useful, thank you!

Dude! The written instructions are excellent. I was able to fix a botched setup from another video and setup two other devices. Nicely done! Subscribed and thumbs up.

Thank you SO much for this video! Not only was I able to get pfSense all decked out with WireGuard, but I now have it setup on my laptop and my Android phone too.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! Finally I got it to work!!. I tried with openvpn and followed many videos and did not work. Then I figured to try Wireguard and at the 3rd time of configuring I stumbled on your video and you explained the final settings and BAM! I was to connect remotely and use see my home network. Woot!

I want to create a DMZ at home.
Gonna install pfsense as a "entry point" within the next days.
Was asking myself I could have 2 VPNs: One to reach the red zone and one for the green zone.
Looks like I found exactly what I need.

Great explanation. No blabla - Nicely compressed information on point.
Very good video!
