i found out that wireguard completely ignores the firewall settings as a vpn server on windows and always lets the wireguard port going through. even if you explicitly block udp port 51820, you can still establish a vpn connection from the client. i've only seen this strange behavior on windows. with linux, you first have to allow the udp port 51280, as it should be. does anyone have an explanation? how is it possible that wirguard for windows can bypass completely the firewall?
