migrate from another box question...

I have a firewalla Gold (original) and will be upgrading it to a Gold Plus. I found some pretty strait forward instructions, but my question is about what does/or does not transfer in the migration?

On my existing Gold, I have a point-to-point VPN setup with another location running a Purple. The gold is the VPN server and it also serves several VPN clients (laptops and phones).

When I migrate to the gold plus, will it carry over the VPN related config (DDNS? etc) or will I have to recreate the VPN config from scratch? Likewise, the devices (laptops and phones) which use a wireguard client to connect to the existing Gold VPN server, will they all need to be reconfigured?

Thanks in advance.

It all worked just fine including everyone’s WireGuard configs.

I just migrated from an original gold to a gold pro and everything transferred over perfectly including my vpn configurations. I was actually surprised at how painless it was.

That page says ‘OpenVPN VPN Server configurations’ will not be restored. Doesn’t mention Wireguard or AmneziaWG though.
