I use Ubuntu 20.04 and Fluxbox windowmanager.

In my company they have installed Wireguard.

I need your kind assistance to install and configure on my computer, as a Wireguard client.

Thank you very much in advance.

  1. To install it, open a Terminal and run:

    sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install wireguard

    To create the public and private keys, you run

    cd /etc/wireguard
sudo umask 077; wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey

    Then you need to edit the configuration file by running

    sudo nano /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf

    And you enter:

    The client's private key
Own IP
The server's public key

    To start the connection with the server you run:

    sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0
sudo systemctl start wg-quick@wg0
sudo systemctl status wg-quick@wg0.

    On reboot, to check if the connection was made, you run:

    ping server-IP.
sudo wg
