Installation step

// Ubuntu
add-apt-repository ppa:wireguard/wireguard
apt-get update
apt-get install wireguard

// Debian10
Install linux-headers first (Hetnzer VPS issue)

// Echo into apt source
echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unstable.list

printf 'Package: *\nPin: release a=unstable\nPin-Priority: 90\n' > /etc/apt/preferences.d/limit-unstable

apt update
apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
apt install wireguard

Generate the public and private key

(umask 077 && printf "[Interface]\nPrivateKey = " | sudo tee /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf > /dev/null)

wg genkey | sudo tee -a /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf | wg pubkey | sudo tee /etc/wireguard/publickey

Edit the wg0.conf file

## Vultr server has to change eth0 into ens3
# Edit wg0.conf
nano /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf

[Interface]
PrivateKey = YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY
ListenPort = 1723 # UDP
Address = 10.8.3.1/32, fd42:42:44::1/64

PostUp = iptables -A FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE; ip6tables -A FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; ip6tables -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; ip6tables -D FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; ip6tables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
#SaveConfig = true

## Generate from Android or other device
PublicKey = PUBLIC_KEY_ON_ANDROID
AllowedIPs = xxxx

Save and fire it up!

wg-quick down wg0
wg-quick up wg0

Make it auto start on boot

systemctl enable [[email protected]](/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection)

Enable port forwarding

nano /etc/sysctl.conf

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1

//Save
sysctl -p
