If you need to stop manually wg-quick down linuxclientĢ.6.b.1. If you need to start manually wg-quick up linuxclientĢ.6.a.2. Now we have several options on how to start the WireGuard VPN interface on our instanceĢ.6.a.1. After that, we have to put it into the server config file nano /etc/wireguard/nfĢ.6. Then we have to get printed and copied our server private key cat privatekeyĢ.5. And run the following command to generate the public and private keys for the server umask 077 wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickeyĢ.4. Now we have to go to the WireGuard directory cd /etc/wireguardĢ.3. Install WireGuard apt-get install wireguardĢ.2. Setup WireGuard VPN client on your Linux computerĢ.1. Enable automatically as the service after a reboot systemctl enable If you need to start manually the service systemctl start If you need to start manually the service systemctl stop If you need to check the status of the service systemctl status 2. If you need to stop manually wg-quick down wg0ġ.11.b.1. If you need to start manually wg-quick up wg0ġ.11.a.2. Now we have several options on how to start the WireGuard VPN interface on our instanceġ.11.a.1. PostDown = iptables -D FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADEġ.11. PostUp = iptables -A FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE The config file may be looked be like this After that, we have to put it into the server config file nano /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf Then we have to get printed and copied our server private key cat privatekeyġ.10. And run the following command to generate the public and private keys for the server umask 077 wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickeyġ.9. Now we have to go to the WireGuard directory cd /etc/wireguardġ.8. Now it is time to install WireGuard apt install wireguard -yġ.7. After that, we have to do the instance reboot or run the command to activate the changes sysctl -pġ.6. This is required to accept incoming network packets on one interface, and recognize that it is not meant for the system itself, but should be passed on to another network.įor this, we have to edit the file /etc/nf nano /etc/nfĪnd change and uncomment the line that says _forward=1ġ.5. Now we need to enable IP Forwarding on the instance. Update your instance apt update & apt upgrade -yĪnd reboot after the update if it needed rebootġ.4. If you do this for the first time, you will need to create the ssh key pair (private and public) on your computer and upload the public key to the cloud server to be able to connect via ssh to your machine.Īt this time, one of the most modern and secure way to create ssh key is by using the command in your terminal ssh-keygen -t ed25519įor connecting via ssh to your cloud instance, use the command ssh put the password (if you set it). Put in mind that your WireGuard VPN server will provide the access to resources on the level that the region you will pick has.ġ.2. Create the instance on your cloud ( Hetzner, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Linode, or Digital Ocean) using Ubuntu 22.04 and choose the region you prefer. Setup WireGuard VPN server on your instanceġ.1. Personally, I have used for the instance - Hetzner, but if you want - you can use any other cloud provider as AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Linode, Digital Ocean and etc.Īt this point, we will not cover an instance ordering process and will jump right to the instance setup. In this guide, we will go through the pretty simple and short set up with using the cloud provider for ordering and using the instance and setting up WireGuard server on this. We will not cover the topic of why that happens BUT we will cover the topic of how to set up your own WireGuard VPN server on some cloud and successfully connect to it avoiding such geolocation restrictions. Sometimes you are faced with the fact that some Internet resources are not available in your country because of different reasons. 6 min read Photo by Privecstasy / Unsplash.
