I think this is a normal behavior, mine is not shown either. If you need it: The Pubkey is contained in the Config-File generated at Tunnel crestion.

What is the use-case for having the public key shown? It could be easily added.

:thinking:
Is it possible that there is a wrong photo in the documentation?

I wouldn’t call it wrong, but the screenshots have been created a little bit before the final version. Development of all of this has been dragged out over quite a long time actually.

I felt like there was not much use in actually showing the public key, so I removed it at some point.

That was my guess. :wink:

The screenshot was fine at the time. :smiley:
However, today it might have been confusing. :person_shrugging:

EDIT: Image deleted as it contained a Private Key and Public IP.

Hi @isystem

You should not post images containing your Private Key and /or your public IP. You should redact those parts of any image before posting it.

Therefore I have deleted your image. However as it has been posted I would also suggest deleting that connection from your IPFire WireGuard page and creating a complete new one.

When you create a connection you end up with a QR code and a download link as shown in the IPFire WireGuard documentation

https://www.ipfire.org/docs/configuration/services/wireguard

The file you download from that link has all the information you require to use in it, including the Public Key.

sorry, I didn’t realize that I had to click on “add” to get the qr-code with all the necessary parameters

good work & greetings to all
