WireGuard Linux client configuration guide

Installation:

sudo apt install wireguard

Get the .conf client configuration file and place it under /etc/wireguard/. This guide uses wg0.conf as an example.

Start the connection:

sudo wg-quick up wg0

If it runs into the /usr/bin/wg-quick: line 32: resolvconf: command not found error, install openresolv:

sudo apt install openresolv

Check the connection status:

sudo wg show

Stop the connection:

sudo wg-quick down wg0

Alternatively, some Linux distributions support the configuration of WireGuard connections in their network manager.
