WireGuard Tunnel

Ever wanted to expose your Home server with a VPN? We've got you covered with this tutorial!

Requirements

VPS (Server side)
Home server (Client side)
Must have root access

Server side

ℹ️

While installing this, the VPS won't SSH anymore when you've done all the steps, because you're redirecting all the data to your Home server.

1. Getting Started

Installing necesary packages

sudo apt -y install curl

2. Installing WireGuard

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/angristan/wireguard-install/master/wireguard-install.sh && chmod +x wireguard-install.sh && ./wireguard-install.sh

3. Setting up iptables

⚠️

Replace <PublicServerIP> with your VPS IP not the Home server one!!!

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d <PublicServerIP> -p tcp -j DNAT --to-dest 10.66.66.2

4. install persistent iptables

ℹ️

This will save the iptables we applied before, so when you restart the VPS you won't need to apply it again.

sudo apt -y install iptables-persistent
netfilter-persistent save
sudo netfilter-persistent reload

If it shows a popup press Y aka YES

Client side

1. Install WireGuard and Resolvconf

sudo apt -y install wireguard resolvconf && nano /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf

Grab from the Server side the configuration file which is located in /root/......

2. Enabling & starting WireGuard

systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0.service && systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl start wg-quick@wg0

3. Checking if it's running

systemctl status wg-quick@wg0.service && curl ip.me

If your IPv4 shows the VPS one, it's now ready to go!

4. How to restart if i applied new config?

systemctl restart wg-quick@wg0.service
