Tremendous difficulty configuring Wireguard - Please help

Ive spent 3 days trying to setup a VPN with a VPS and my Home PC.

I have a debian 11 VPS server, and manjaro desktop, installed wireguard on both and running

Debian Server stuff

create private and public keys > wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey

create /etc/wireguard/wg0.conffile
Code:[Interface]
PrivateKey = SERVER_PRIVATE_KEY
Address = 192.168.23.1/24
ListenPort = 51820
SaveConfig = false

[Peer]
PublicKey = CLIENT_PUBLIC_KEY
AllowedIPs = 192.168.23.2Manjaro Client Stuff

create private and public keys > wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey

create /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf file

On both server VPS and client, I run wg-quick up wg0.

Now I have zero internet access on my client.
I also can no longer ssh into my server.

On my client > ping 192.168.23.1 does successfully transmit/receive packets

On my client, If I run wg-quick down wg0, I can regain internet access but I am no longer connected to the SERVER or Wireguard

Now ping 192.168.23.1 doesn't transmit anything, as expected.
