naain and I are trying to set up peering, but it's not working. We are doing the peering via a WireGuard tunnel. This is working. We can ping each other's endpoints without any problems. On my side, it shows me that I am exporting the routes. However, naain's bird does not show any imported routes (despite a filter that accepts everything). We enabled the debug function for testing purposes and he received "filtered out" log messages. Neither he nor I can explain this, since the import filter accepts everything.

You'll need to look for `>` records for import, and probably `tcpdump` might help to check whether it actually comes out from the right link. With WireGuard though … are you sure that the packets actually come through? I remember having weird MTU issues with my wireguard setup, and TCP very easily sends packets big enough to hit it.
