Wireguard: tunables not working for me

[francisaugusto]

Hi,

I am on FreeNAS 11.3 U3.2 and I am trying to follow the tutorial to install Wireguard on FreeNAS (https://www.ixsystems.com/blog/wireguard-on-freenas-11-3/)

the thing is, I add the tunables variables, but they never show up, neither at my /etc/rc.conf, nor at /tmp/rc.conf, which is where they should end up according the documentation.

Any tips on how to fix it?

Also, the tutorial doesn't go deep into how to make a wg0.conf file. Anyone could share a bit of experience on this? I just want to setup a peer to peer - do I need to mess with routes and so on?

Best,

Francis

What kind of tunable? Loader tunables are populated in /boot/loader.conf.local. Rc.conf tunables are dropped in /etc/rc.conf.freenas, along with many other FreeNAS GUI settings. Sysctl tunables are stored in the FreeNAS configuration database directly.

I meant `rc.conf`. Yes, it is where you are saying. Thanks! Annoying that the documentation is point at `/tmp/rc.conf.freenas`:

1. FreeBSD rc.conf options: rc.conf(5) is used to pass system configuration options to the system startup scripts as the system boots. Since FreeNAS® has been optimized for storage, not all of the services mentioned in rc.conf(5) are available for configuration. Note that in FreeNAS®, customized rc.conf options are stored in /tmp/rc.conf.freenas.
