I am running OPNSense 25.7.2 on my edge firewall. Wireguard remote-access tunnels still authenticate, yet the moment traffic begins to flow the link freezes, stalls, and ultimately becomes unusable. OpenVPN, which had worked side-by-side with Wireguard, now refuses to establish a tunnel at all. In short, I’m seeing every classic symptom—connections that stall after they come up, sessions that never complete the handshake, and occasional bursts of painfully slow throughput when they do. Nothing in the UI jumps out as an obvious mis-configuration. I haven’t intentionally touched NAT, routing, or interface assignments, and system logs aren’t giving me a smoking gun (to the extent that I can read the things). I have tried to put in a lower MTU on Wiregaurd, and disabled hardware offload on my NICs, but that hasn't really done anything (which is par for the course with ChatGPT troubleshooting). I need an OPNSense expert to dive in, analyse both Wireguard and OpenVPN simultaneously, pinpoint whatever changed, and restore reliable remote-client access. Deliverables are straightforward: a stable, tested Wireguard and OpenVPN setup on this same firewall, plus a brief note of any rules, MTU tweaks, or kernel parameters you adjusted so I can keep future upgrades painless. Remote access to the appliance can be arranged immediately, and I’m happy to run packet captures or reboot during a scheduled maintenance window if that speeds things up. EDIT: I got OpenVPN working, so now it's just Wireguard that's down.

Hello, I understand you're having difficulties with your OPNSense 25.7.2 firewall's VPN connections. It sounds frustrating that Wireguard and OpenVPN are both giving you trouble, especially when you've already tried some adjustments like lowering the MTU and disabling hardware offload. My approach will be to thoroughly analyze both VPN setups, check your NAT and routing configurations, and investigate logs to pinpoint the issue causing those stalls and handshake failures. I will ensure that both Wireguard and OpenVPN are not only functional but stable, and I'll document any changes made to rules or parameters for easy reference in the future. I’m ready to dive in as soon as we set up remote access to your firewall. Can you provide specific details about any recent changes or updates made to the OPNSense system that might have affected VPN connectivity? Thanks, Muhammad Awais
