It has been brought to my attention that certain users experience an internet blackout on their Windows box after disconnecting form a node in Meile on Windows. We have not ran into this issue on our Windows device yet, so it makes it a bit more troublesome to troubleshoot.
However, upon further discussion, one solution was to open Task Manager and kill the Wireguard.exe processes. This approach was used by users who have a previous install of Wireguard on their device. Meile packages Wireguard within the .exe and does not install it on the client's computer - instead it uses it directly in the executable. This leads us to believe previous installs of Wireguard, which are running, are interfering with network connectivity after Meile disconnects by using wireguard to terminate the network interface.
Possible solution is the invoke a "clean-up" routine on Windows clients to kill all running instances of Wireugard.exe thereby restoring internet connectivity. It would be of much help if we can duplicate this problem before implementing this supposed solution.
