I am completely new to wireguard, I set up a tunnel with my dev machine and was able to directly ping the instances with their internal ip, however when I wanted to remove the tunnel I had created, In noticed that fly wireguard list returns many entries which I don’t think I created manually, some are in regions I have no actively running app in. Is this excepted?
Thank you
I also ran fly wireguard reset but I’m not exactly sure of what it does since there still are many entries.
Did the names of those tunnels start with interactive-? We create tunnels automatically for a bunch of things flyctl does.
reset forces flyctl to create a new interactive- tunnel rather than using a cached one.
Yes, they all start with interactive, as well as the email I used to register, and some even seem to contain my dev machine name.
How can I know which tunnel was created manually so that I can remove it? Is it safe to remove all listed tunnels?
The good news is, you can remove any of these tunnels. If you remove a tunnel that flyctl thought it could use, it’ll notice and just go create another tunnel.
As a general rule of thumb, if the tunnel does not include interactive-, you should be a little careful removing it, because presumably you created it explicitly for some purpose. If it has interactive- in it, it’s an automatic tunnel, zap them all if you like.
I see, thank you!
