Wireguard client does not complete handshake on nixos

Mar 07 12:10:16 nixos kernel: wireguard: wg0: Handshake for peer 1 (192.248.152.91:58338) did not complete after 5 seconds, retrying (try 3) Mar 07 12:10:16 nixos kernel: wireguard: wg0: Sending handshake initiation to peer 1 (192.248.152.91:58338) This seems to work correctly if I set allowed IPs to something other than 0.0.0.0 - my understanding is it will only send connections to these ips via the wireguard VPN.

networking.firewall = {
      enable = false;
    };

  # Enable Wireguard
  networking.wireguard.interfaces = {
    wg0 = {
      ips = [ "10.66.66.2/32" ];
      listenPort = 58338; # to match firewall allowedUDPPorts (without this wg uses random port numbers)
      privateKey= "************************";

      peers = [

        {
          publicKey = "***************";
          presharedKey = "*****************";

          allowedIPs = [ "0.0.0.0/0" ];
          #allowedIPs = [ "10.66.66.1" "94.130.178.87" ];

          endpoint = "192.248.152.91:58338"; # ToDo: route to endpoint not automatically configured https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WireGuard#Loop_routing  https://discourse.nixos.org/t/solved-minimal-firewall-setup-for-wireguard-client/7577 

          # Send keepalives every 25 seconds. Important to keep NAT tables alive.
          persistentKeepalive = 25;
        }
      ];
    };
  };

I've read through https://discourse.nixos.org/t/solved-minimal-firewall-setup-for-wireguard-client/7577/4 however even after adding an ip route with ip route add 192.248.152.91 via 10.66.66.1 dev wg0 it does not seem to have any change in behaviour.
