Wire guard did not work for me when I was outside my home network. I am not sure what could be the issue.
Did it ever work before when you were away from home?
Is your IPFire located behind CGNAT?

Hi @Borgmatique,
Sounds like the issue is that your IPFire firewall is behind your AT&T WiFi router, which may be causing problems for WireGuard connections from outside your home.
A few quick things to check:
- Double NAT or CGNAT
If your AT&T router’s WAN IP starts with 10., 192.168., or 100.64., you’re likely behind CGNAT or double NAT as @tphz mentioned. That can block incoming connections. You might need to ask AT&T for a public IP or change ISP.
- Port Forwarding
If you do have a public IP, make sure UDP port 51820 (or whichever port you selected for WireGuard) is forwarded from your AT&T router to your IPFire firewall.
- Client Settings
Your WireGuard client should point to your public IP (or a Dynamic DNS name).
Have a look through the WireGuard documentation for more hints. Without more information about your setup it’s difficult to diagnose.
Cheers,
A G
