iOS connection issue

[Roopesh Chander S]

Just to confirm, you’re saying you can connect from your Mac with this config and access the Internet, but can’t do that from iPhone from the same config. (I’m assuming you didn’t have the VPN on in your Mac when trying to connect from the iPhone.)

Can you provide the log from your iPhone to investigate further? (Settings > Log). You can email it to team at wireguard dot com.

> From the General VPN info, it says the server address is 127.0.0.1, which doesn’t sound right.

I’m assuming you’re seeing this in Settings > VPN > [vpn name] (i) once the VPN is up. That’s indeed not the actual IP of the server — it’s just an arbitrary string we provide iOS. I’ve noted down a task to fix it when there’s a single peer with an endpoint.

Thanks,
