Hello! I have WG server with this config:

[Interface]
Address = 10.0.1.1/24
ListenPort = 51821
PrivateKey = [REDACTED]

[Peer]
PublicKey = [REDACTED]
PresharedKey = [REDACTED]
AllowedIPs = 10.0.1.2/32

When I try to ping I am getting this errors:

PING 10.0.1.2 (10.0.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 10.0.1.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
ping: sendmsg: Destination address required
From 10.0.1.1 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
ping: sendmsg: Destination address required
From 10.0.1.1 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
ping: sendmsg: Destination address required

How to fix it? This is nopt server connection issue otherwise I just wouldn’t receive ping responses.

    are you able to get something akin to route -n and ip a or ifconfig like printouts/information that you can copy/paste here to to ascertain your networks’ configuration to help us understand your environment and have a better chance of reaching a resolution.

    i thinking basic routing information like your gateway or your mask might be a decent place to start and i would normally use commands like those in a linux system as a starting point; i’m sure whatever platform you’re using has an analogs.

    at first glance it looks like a subnetting issue; but i’m sure i’m interpreting the information you’ve shared incorrectly and this basic routing information will help clarify that.

        i think that eliminates the subnetting netting theory.

        let’s switch to some basic troubleshooting on the network: are you able to get use dhcp on this network to get a lease and; if so; can you do it with dhclient with some verbosity? are there any other hosts on the network that respond to ping? is ping allowed on this network?
