The configuration for the first server will feature the first server's private key in the `[Interface]` section and the second server's public key in the `[Peer]` section, and vice versa for the configuration of the second server. + +This example is from a machine that can be hidden behind nat therefore I configure a `PersistentKeepalive`. If your host has a public IP this line is not needed. + +To activate the interface configuration, use : +```sh +service wireguard enable +echo 'wireguard_interfaces="wg0"' >> /etc/rc.conf +service wireguard start +``` + +## Administration + +The tunnel can be managed with the `wg` command: +```sh +root@hurricane:~# wg +interface: wg0 + public key: 7fbr/yumFeTzXwxIHnEs462JLFToUyJ7yCOdeDFmP20= + private key: (hidden) + listening port: 342 + +peer: R4A01RXXqRJSY9TiKQrZGR85HsFNSXxhRKKEu/bEdTQ= + endpoint: 168.119.114.183:342 + allowed ips: 10.1.2.9/32 + latest handshake: 57 seconds ago + transfer: 1003.48 KiB received, 185.89 KiB sent + persistent keepalive: every 1 minute +``` + +The ip configuration still relies on `ifconfig`: +```sh +root@hurricane:~# ifconfig wg0 +wg0: flags=80c1<UP,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1420 + options=80000<LINKSTATE> + inet 10.1.2.7 netmask 0xffffff00 + groups: wg + nd6 options=109<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,NO_DAD> +``` |
