wireguard
Here is a possible method to install WireGuard Client on Ubuntu Server 24.04
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y sudo apt install -y wireguard wireguard-tools
Generate a private public key pair for the client.
wg genkey | tee client_private.key | wg pubkey > client_public.key
For security, it's recommended to store the keys outside of the current directory. For example, you can use a directory like /etc/wireguard/keys/. You will need the client's public key and the server's public key to create the configuration file.
Create a configuration file, for example, /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
sudo nano /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf [Interface] PrivateKey = <Your-client-private-key> Address = <Your-client-private-ip>/<subnet-mask> DNS = <server-dns-server> [Peer] PublicKey = <Your-server-public-key> Endpoint = <Your-server-public-ip>:<Your-server-port> AllowedIPs = <server-ip>/<subnet-mask>, <server-private-ip>/<subnet-mask> PersistentKeepalive = 25
Start the Wireguard interface
sudo wg-quick up wg0
Set it to start on Boot
sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0
Check the status of the interface
sudo wg show
