Wireguard qr code not there?

[ninjanoir78]

hi,

I use 22.03 version on my R7800 and I wonder why on wireguard status, I don't see anymore the qr code option? First pic is the master version from 6 months and the second one 22.03 .

thanks

I always found the LuCI wireguard interface confusing for key generation. I feel that is it much easier to do by hand.

Wireguard QR image missing

I think I know what is happening... I just looked at my configuration and I can confirm that the QR code button is not clickable/grayed-out. However, I added a new peer with a freshly generated private & public key -- this made the QR code clickable. The QR code cannot be generated unless the private key is in the peer config. Under normal circumstances, the private key for the peer is not required (or even desired) to exist in the peer configuration -- only the public key should exist. However…
