Wireguard отказывается работать не с 443 портом wireguard only works if enabled: `pritunl set app.server_ssl true` `pritunl set app.server_port 443` How can I make it work on other ports? Since port 80, 443 are busy for me traefik proxy ---

The Pritunl client needs to access the Pritunl web server for the authentication request. If you are using a port different than `443` for the web server run `sudo pritunl set app.reverse_proxy false`. The ssl option must be true. ---

I just installed pritunl from scratch received ssl certificate openvpn and wireguard work turn it on `sudo pritunl set app.reverse_proxy false` `pritunl set app.server_port 8443` and when connecting to wireguard an error appears `Failed to connect to vpn (test-wg)` ---

This configuration also requires the sync address to be set in the advanced host settings. This option is only shown in the hosts tab with an enterprise subscription. Without this it will use the IP address from the OpenVPN remotes which doesn’t have the web server port. ---

The same mistake. How to make Pritunl WireGuard work not on port 443 ? How to separate the Pritunl GUI from WireGuard authentication. PS as I understand it, this is a very frequent request from Pritunl users, since many do not want to expose port 443 to the outside, or he is busy with his software… Can you make a separate configuration in Pritunl so that it can be configured immediately in the Pritunl web interface?? ---

I did check the code for this and it will only work with the sync address configured which is an advanced setting in the host options. It’s not recommended to run the server on a different port. The WireGuard design reused the existing OpenVPN remotes which don’t specify the web server port. These are overridden when the sync address is configured but this option requires an enterprise subscription. ---

Specified parameters: `pritunl set app.reverse_proxy true` `pritunl set app.redirect_server false` `pritunl set app.server_ssl false` And also in the hosts section, in the server settings in the `Sync Address` parameter `ma.domain:another_port` And everything worked, thanks everyone for your attention!
