Wireguard
Install Wireguard
Both Server/Client
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wireguard
Create Private key
wg genkey | sudo tee /etc/wireguard/private.key
sudo chmod go= /etc/wireguard/private.key
sudo cat /etc/wireguard/private.key | wg pubkey | sudo tee /etc/wireguard/public.key
Server:
sudo vim /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
[Interface]
Address = 10.0.0.1/24
SaveConfig = true
PostUp = iptables -A FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
PostDown = iptables -D FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
ListenPort = xxxxx
PrivateKey = xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Make sure to use your correct interface in this case its eth0
Should be a 1 if its 0 you need to change it to 1
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
1
sudo vim /etc/sysctl.conf
Go to where net.ipv4.ip_forward=0
is and change the 0 to a 1. Make sure to uncomment it if its commented out. Write and save the file.
To read the file and load the new values for your current terminal session, run:
sudo sysctl -p
Output
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
Think you should also be able to do sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Reboot server
Bring up wg0 and make sure its running
wg-quick up wg0
sudo wg
Client: I'm doing name as a place holder you might have different conf files (vps.conf, work.conf, etc) so name them accordingly
sudo vim /etc/wireguard/name.conf
Add the following to name.conf
[Interface]
Address = 10.0.0.2/24
PrivateKey = xxxx
DNS = 1.1.1.1
[Peer]
PublicKey = xxxx
AllowedIPs - 0.0.0.0/0
Endpoint = serveriphere:port
Switch back to server and add client public key to wg0.conf
[Interface]
Address = 10.0.0.1/24
SaveConfig = true
PostUp = iptables -A FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o enp2s0 -j MASQUERADE
PostDown = iptables -D FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o enp2s0 -j MASQUERADE
ListenPort = xxxx
PrivateKey = xxxx
[Peer]
PublicKey = xxxx
AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.2/32
Make sure wireguard automatically starts on server reboot
