Wiresock Interface section is not present

[joq3]

Hi,

I just found WireSock, have been using WireGuard client on my Windows computer to connect to my NAS running Unraid with a WireGuard server.

I exported the config-file from my NAS and I have no trouble connecting to it with the WireGuard client.

I then installed WireSock and tried to run it like this:

wiresock-client.exe run -config C:\Program Files\WireSock VPN Client\bin\config.conf -log-level all -lac

When running with logs this is the output:

2022-09-07 08:01:29 WireSock Service has started.
2022-09-07 08:01:29 failed to open the configuration file!
2022-09-07 08:01:29 Interface section is not present!
2022-09-07 08:01:29 Failed to initialize Wireguard tunnel.

What am I doing wrong?

This is the config-file:

[Interface]
PrivateKey = redacted
Address = 10.253.0.2/32
DNS = 192.168.1.1

[Peer]
PublicKey = redacted
Endpoint = vpn.redacted.com:51820
AllowedApps = firefox
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0

My goal is to tunnel only the Firefox browser through the VPN, so this app is really what I need!

Hi,

If this is the exact command line

wiresock-client.exe run -config C:\Program Files\WireSock VPN Client\bin\config.conf -log-level all -lac,

then you must either add quotes (path contains spaces) or remove the full path (wiresock checks the \bin folder for a config file):

wiresock-client.exe run -config "C:\Program Files\WireSock VPN Client\bin\config.conf" -log-level all -lac

OR

wiresock-client.exe run -config config.conf -log-level all -lac

Hope it helps!

hi,

i got a similar problem on windows 7 like client, the main reason was the file coding. while wiresock gui is reformatting the config file to UTF-8, the “imported” .conf file on wiresock-client.exe can’t be parsed correctly, because of the -ENTER- because of wrong file coding ;).

thx a lot for your nice work, Mr. Smirnov.
