# Using Ubuntu as a Client with WireGuard
|
|
|
|
## Install WireGuard
|
|
|
|
To connect to your AlgoVPN using [WireGuard](https://www.wireguard.com) from Ubuntu, first install WireGuard:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Add the WireGuard repository:
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wireguard/wireguard
|
|
|
|
# Update the list of available packages (not necessary on 18.04 or later):
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
|
|
# Install the tools and kernel module:
|
|
sudo apt install wireguard openresolv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For installation on other Linux distributions, see the [Installation](https://www.wireguard.com/install/) page on the WireGuard site.
|
|
|
|
## Locate the Config File
|
|
|
|
The Algo-generated config files for WireGuard are named `configs/<ip_address>/wireguard/<username>.conf` on the system where you ran `./algo`. One file was generated for each of the users you added to `config.cfg`. Each WireGuard client you connect to your AlgoVPN must use a different config file. Choose one of these files and copy it to your Linux client.
|
|
|
|
## Configure WireGuard
|
|
|
|
Finally, install the config file on your client as `/etc/wireguard/wg0.conf` and start WireGuard:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Install the config file to the WireGuard configuration directory on your
|
|
# Linux client:
|
|
sudo install -o root -g root -m 600 <username>.conf /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
|
|
|
|
# Start the WireGuard VPN:
|
|
sudo systemctl start wg-quick@wg0
|
|
|
|
# Check that it started properly:
|
|
sudo systemctl status wg-quick@wg0
|
|
|
|
# Verify the connection to the AlgoVPN:
|
|
sudo wg
|
|
|
|
# See that your client is using the IP address of your AlgoVPN:
|
|
curl ipv4.icanhazip.com
|
|
|
|
# Optionally configure the connection to come up at boot time:
|
|
sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If your Linux distribution does not use `systemd` you can bring up WireGuard with `sudo wg-quick up wg0`.
