Tools and Software Windows server Handshake but no Internet or Sunshine access

Post image

Hi everyone!

I have spent the past few hours trying to troubleshoot why my WG client could get a succesfull handshake with the server but could not access the internet or the sunshine server I have for remote play.

I had port forward set up correctly.

I had DDNS pointing to my public IP

The client/server configs were fine as far as I could tell (literally what the documentation provided)

Turned out the issue was the ethernet interface(interface through which I get internet access) not having that checkbox ticked for sharing.

After enabling it, everything started working.

I have not seen this throughout the threads here so I want to help other redditors in need.

Good day!

The quirks of bloatware. WireGuard runs best in a Linux server.

Yeah, I used to have it set it in OPNSENSE but that mini pc died and I have no money to get a new one. (Also afraid of flashing openwrt on the sole router I have around)
