Add peer (remote terminal)
|
If a WireGuard connection already exists in which the UTM serves as a server, an additional peer can be added that runs on the same port. It uses the same certificate to authenticate the connection as an existing connection.
For additional remote terminals (peers), their own public key is required, as well as their own PSK.

Button Add peer of the connection you want to use
The connection status refers exclusively to the WireGuard tunnel, not to the actual reachability of the hosts on the other side of the tunnel (firewall rules, network configuration)!
|
Status |
Description
|
|
The tunnel is active
|
|
No indication of status can be made until a data packet is transmitted or the keepalive is activated. The connection status of peers for which no endpoint is defined is basically only updated in case of incoming traffic/keepalive from the client side, i.e. an unknown status in this case does not necessarily mean a misconfiguration, but possibly only an inactive client.
|
|
An error has occurred. The connection cannot be established.

x25519_c_vpn_pub_pem |
Public key of the remote terminal in the x25519 format. Only keys that have no private key can be selected.Public key present but not selectable? Only keys for which there is not yet a connection on this interface can be selected. The PublicKey must be unique within a connection, as the routing of incoming packets is carried out via it. If the same PublicKey is to be used for a peer, e.g. for a fallback, another WireGuard connection must be created for this.

Site-to-Site If the public key of the remote terminal is not yet known, this button can be used to open the import of the key management.

Roadwarrior If the public key of the roadwarrior is not yet known, this button can be used to open the import of the key management.
We recommend creating the key pair for the Roadwarrior on the UTM and then storing it securely. Approach:
- Press the button. This will open the Add Key dialog.
- Choose a meaningful name in Name:.
- As Type: select the X25519 form and Save and close
- The key created will be inserted and is listed under

Keepalive: |
Off Default |
Regularly sends a signal. This keeps connections open on NAT routers. On Activation is recommended.
|
25 |
Interval in seconds at which a signal is sent

Create / remove routes to the peer's networks: |
No Default |
Creates on activation routes to the peer's networks CLI command for each element from Allowed IPs: route new src "" router "wg0" dst "» ✕Allowed IP"
|
|
Generate network objects for peer: |
No Default |
When activated Ja network objects (IPv4 and if necessary IPv6) for the remote terminal are generated
|
Network objects for the peer: |
» ✕wg-net-peer-rw-c » ✕wg-net6-peer-rw-c |
The automatic default name (wg-net-Peer-Name) can be changed
|
Network group: |
wg0-networks |
Assigns the newly created network objects to a network group
