Two devices keep disconnecting each other

Each device needs its own configuration

What you see

  • One device works until another connects.
  • Each device works fine when the other is off.

Why it happens

A configuration holds one device's key, and WireGuard sends that key's traffic to wherever it last heard from it. Two devices using one configuration keep taking the traffic from each other.

  1. Add a device for each machine

    In the console, add a separate device for every laptop and phone, and download or scan its own configuration.

  2. Remove the shared configuration

    Delete the shared configuration from every device but one, then delete any device in the console nobody uses.
