wireguard - allow to set hostname for the remote peer

[perexg]

WireGuard-ESP32 library uses lwip_getaddrinfo() call to resolve IP/hostname string, so it should work.

Unfortunately it will not allow me to put hostname in the field - it says "Please match the requested format"

How long is the hostname? Did you shift-F5 the settings webpage to refresh?

[veetek22]

yes refreshed , hostname is 13 characters long but tried putting a shorter one it gives me the same msg

It's something with your browser. I did some tests and the name can be longer than 13 characters now. Try to clean cache or really reload the page.

I did some tests and in some cases, the device may reset in an unexpected way when the wireguard configuration is changed. PR #633 removes the auto-reconfiguration code thus a manual device restart is required to apply new configuration like for wifi.

Hi thank you, I have tried as suggested - cleared the cache in a browser restarted everything and unfortunately it still won't allow me to put a name in that field. I'm out of ideas at the moment unless you have any other suggestions.

VPN IP is IPv4 inside the wireguard tunnel (it's private IP). It cannot be defined by host name.

VPN IP = wireguard local IP (e.g. 192.168.2.100) - check remote endpoint configuration to match this value Remote IP = wireguard remote IP or hostname (public - outside VPN)
