| Wireguard | How to configure a wireguard endpoint on Gentoo |
Introduction
This article explains how to configure wireguard on Gentoo.
Configuration example
Here is a /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf configuration example to create a tunnel listening on udp port 342 and a remote peers :
[Interface]
PrivateKey = MzrfXLmSfTaCpkJWKwNlCSD20eDq7fo18aJ3Dl1D0gA=
ListenPort = 342
Address = 10.1.2.7/24
[Peer]
PublicKey = R4A01RXXqRJSY9TiKQrZGR85HsFNSXxhRKKEu/bEdTQ=
Endpoint = 168.119.114.183:342
AllowedIPs = 10.1.2.9/32
PersistentKeepalive = 60
Your private key goes on the first line as argument to wgkey, the other keys are public keys for each peer. In this example I setup a client 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 :
cd /etc/init.d
ln -s wg-quick wg-quick.wg0
rc-update add wg-quick.wg0 default
/etc/init.d/wg-quick.wg0 start
Administration
Private keys can be generated with the following command : {{< highlight sh >}} openssl rand -base64 32 {{< /highlight >}}
The tunnel can be managed with the wg command:
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
