Linux - WireGuard Client Setup Print

  • 3

In order to connect to a VPN, follow these steps:

1- Open the link you received in a browser to get instructions and configuration for your new VPN connection. And you will see the following page in the browser window

2- In order to start the configuration you need to download the configuration file. To download the configuration file, click the "Dowload config file" button.

3- Save the file to downloads or any other place to import later. You can download the configuration file and move it to your server, or you can create a new file and copy the configuration text into it. We will copy the configuration text into a new file in this WireGuard client setup guide.

4- Since we are setting up a connection for an Linux device, we need the WireGuard client for Linux. To download and install the client on your device, by command sudo apt install wireguard

5- After installing the client, navigate to the folder cd /etc/wireguard/ and create a configuration file. With the help of the command nano wg0.conf

6- Copy the configuration text into your terminal window.

7- Save the file, after saving the file you need to complete the connection.
Connect using the command: sudo wg-quick up wg0
