Subject: Wireguard not working in conjunction with G Data Firewall
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2023 14:12:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ef2c11a8-5b2a-4e71-99e9-a94d4c2c71aa@schmueller.de> (raw)
Hello,
I've had problems using the Wireguard Client 0.5.3 on a Windows 10 with
G Data Total Security installed. The connection is working. A ping to a
remote host is working too, sometimes a SMB connection works but HTTP or
HTTPS traffic is not coming through.
I wrote to the G Data support an received this answer which I would like
to share with you (translated):
"There are fundamental incompatibilities between the G DATA
Firewall and the use of the WireGuard VPN protocol. We believe this is
due to the initialization of the WireGuard connection parameters.
As a workaround, it should be possible to temporarily disable the
firewall, then establish the VPN connection, and then re-enable the
firewall."
I then asked for a fix and got the following reply:
"We understand your reaction, but the functionality you are referring to
is not a frequently requested change and the required modifications
would be extensive."
I believe this functionality is frequently needed but if G Data is not
willing to change something, maybe the problem can be fixed on the
wireguard client side...
Best regards
Norbert Schmidt
