[ Wireguard ]

📝 Info

Wireguard is a VPN service I use to connect to the server at home.

One needs to configure the connection between the machine server and the new device.

📋 Different commands

• get servers network info

ifconfig

• generate private & public keys

wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey

• change permissions

chmod 600 privatekey && chmod 600 wg0.conf

• start and enable wireguard server

systemctl start wg-quick@wg0 && systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0

• check status

systemctl status wg-quick@wg0

• add client on wireguard server

wg set wg0 peer PUBLICKEY_CLIENT allowed-ips ADDRESS_CLIENT && wg-quick show wg0

• wg0.conf
