Setting Up Wireguard

Once you've installed wireguard you can either set it up manually or use pivpn as an easier alternative.

Here's what your config file should look like:

[Interface]
Address = 10.145.16.9/24
PrivateKey = fGU3YoHmVYtGnaSsKX2eTi6Z06No4BwcSw2jzA1X2aZ=
DNS = 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1

[Peer]
PublicKey = IATY9j5PVlNxbJXXj7YiOQOyXijykotSiohgY9ZLYz0=
PresharedKey = PclEs511E1/9Tlrg+nIhWbNofx+0eIgPvFIOzkLDYBc=
Endpoint = acrobat.duckdns.org:51820
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0

Notes:

  • The endpoint is supposed to be your public IP, but you can also use a domain that links to it like I did here.
  • The config file is identical in the host and client.
  • You can also link your PrivateKey in another file by using PostUp = wg set %i private-key /etc/wireguard/%i.privkey instead of PrivateKey = fGU3YoHmVYtGnaSsKX2eTi6Z06No4BwcSw2jzA1X2aZ=
  • Here's a link to duckdns if you want to use a domain like me.
  • You can have multiple peers.

Once everything is set up you should be able to start your connection with wg-quick up wg0 and to close it, replace up with down

Don't forget to port forward port 51820 it is the wireguard port.
