Failed to resolve interface "tun": No such device
ClonedOne opened this issue · comments
Hello, thank you for maintaining this tool it's really useful.
I have been using mozwire for a few months whithout any issue, but a couple of days ago, seeing that mozilla had released their linux client I tried installing that to check it out. Unfortunately it didn't work on my machine, and, much worse, now mozwire doesn't work anymore.
Now, whenever I use wg-quick up I end up with:
[#] resolvconf -a tun.us112-wireguard -m 0 -x
Failed to resolve interface "tun": No such device
[#] ip link delete dev us112-wireguard
I have purged the mozillavpn package, removed my box from the allowed devices and tried repeating the configuration steps from the beginning:
$ export MOZ_TOKEN=$(mozwire --print-token)
$ mozwire relay save
$ sudo wg-quick up ./us112-wireguard.conf
but I still get that error.
Do you know what may be causing it?
Edit: for completeness
$ uname -a

I feel like it may be due to some kind of user-space wireguard implementation being left behind after installing the official mozilla VPN client. I am not sure however, what the exact issue is and am not sure I can really help much. This is a problem with the mozilla vpn client not mozwire. Although I'd love to help, you should probably ask them instead.
I fear you are may be right, I was mostly hoping you may have seen this error before. I still can use wireguard to connect to a different vpn, so I guess the issue is somewhat related to mozilla's vpn in particular, but I am not sure where to start looking.
If this problem was caused my installing the official VPN client you may want to contact mozilla. Here's the repo for that client where you might want to open an issue: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client
