Subject: macOS: WireGuard traffic sent over wrong interface
Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2022 14:34:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMtyXZYQ6_Y9Tfa+3dHgXS1yWfV7xBpYBK7tO8_yegLJgxKGoQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I wasn't able to find a bug tracker so apologies if this is a known issue.

I’m running macOS 12.3 with WireGuard 1.0.15 from the App Store.

My WireGuard peer is on my corporate network, to which I am first
connecting via Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect.

If I use `route get <peer IP>` then macOS reports that it will send
traffic to the peer via the GlobalProtect tunnel interface. And I can
confirm this by sending UDP traffic from macOS to the peer server and
monitoring it going over that interface using Wireshark.

However, when I then turn on the WireGuard tunnel, it sends its
traffic over en0, my Wi-Fi interface, over which the peer is not
reachable.

As a workaround, I can have my endpoint configured as localhost and
use socat to redirect traffic over the correct interface:

socat -T 3600 udp-listen:51820,reuseaddr,fork udp:<peer>:51820
