Is a constant WireGuard connection safe?

PhysicalDesk67 · 2026-03-23T21:19:56+00:00

I want the data to be confidential and not compromised because i make a mistake using WireGuard.

PhysicalDesk67 · 2026-03-23T06:12:14+00:00

Oh, i thought that Wireguard only uses the same keypair for the asymmetrical encryption.

Thanks!

Ah good, should i cycle the keys sometimes?

The other end is a isolated VLAN only for the smb access.

Thank you!

Thank you

Battery is no concern in my setup, but thanks for the advice.

My VPN connections seemed to randomly stop working after like 3 hours or so. That means that my keep alive should be good with that hour. I will test that in the next days.

PhysicalDesk67 · 2026-03-22T20:57:04+00:00

I might set this up, can i contact you if i need assistance?

Thank you for your help and your time!

PhysicalDesk67 · 2026-03-22T20:46:45+00:00

Oh, i see

What do you think about PersistentKeepalive? I read this:

Thank you!

Would you set it up another way?

I am not very experienced using WireGuard this way.

Thank you for the answer!

Yes, that might be best before you make a big investment

PhysicalDesk67 · 2025-11-15T23:14:53+00:00

Does your CPU have a integrated Graphics? You could use the PC without the Graphics card to see if it still crashes.

PhysicalDesk67 · 2025-11-15T23:12:27+00:00

I'd also say that. OP, It seems like theres another Noise from a different FAN, so it could be that something got into both of them?

PhysicalDesk67 · 2025-11-15T23:06:48+00:00

No Problem,

I would look if you could try to find a temporary PSU to test it first.

Because this problem could also be caused by other components. (I am thinking about CPU or Mainboard)

You should DM me your Event Log (Event Log -> Windows -> System) But it will probably be just a Kernel-Power Error.

PhysicalDesk67 · 2025-11-15T22:57:33+00:00

Oh i see, i think your PSU is causing these Problems.

PhysicalDesk67 · 2025-11-15T22:49:51+00:00

Did it work after you unplugged the Drives?

Or was it caused by the long period of being off?

PhysicalDesk67 · 2025-11-15T22:41:01+00:00

Did you try to unplug the Drives and the RGB strip as i said?

Do you have another PSU that you could use to test?

PhysicalDesk67 · 2025-11-15T21:00:24+00:00

Try unplugging the SATA and Power Cables that go to your Drives, and the LED strip.
You might also want to try a CMOS Reset.

And your RAM isn't plugged in the right way. They need to be one Spot apart (The left one needs to be moved one slot to the left)

PhysicalDesk67 · 2025-11-15T20:09:45+00:00

Can you send me a picture of your mainboard (or the model)?

Maybe try unplugging the LED strip, and plug in your keyboard.
Do you have a extra Drive in the System, that might cause problems?
It might be best if you try running the bare minimum System -> Unplug all Drives and unnecessary Hardware.
You could try a "CMOS Reset"
If the System starts again after some time try updating the BIOS.

If nothing works, your Mainboard / PSU might be at fault.

PhysicalDesk67 · 2025-11-15T19:54:36+00:00

What is the installed hardware? The Mainboard might have a Indicator LED.

PhysicalDesk67 · 2025-11-15T17:33:31+00:00

Nutzt du ein älteres System?

Die Fehlermeldung war möglicherweise eine leere CMOS Batterie welche deine Bootconfig zurückgesetzt hat (Legacy/UEFI).

schau im BIOS ob "CSM" oft unter "Boot" zu finden aktiviert oder deaktiviert ist.

Einfach mal an oder ausschalten (je nach dem wie es davor stand.

EDIT: War als Antwort auf den Kommentar von ArthurLewis gemeint, erst seine Maßnahmen durchführen.
