+Wireguard VPN Interface
+-----------------------
+
+WireGuard is an extremely simple yet fast and modern VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography.
+See https://www.wireguard.com for mor information.
+
+Configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Generate the keypair, which creates a public and private part and stores it within vyos.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ wg01:~$ configure
+ wg01# run generate wireguard keypair
+
+The public key is being shared with your peer(s), your peer will encrypt all traffic to your system using this public key.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ wg01#run show wireguard pubkey
+ u41jO3OF73Gq1WARMMFG7tOfk7+r8o8AzPxJ1FZRhzk=
+
+The next step is to configure your local side as well as the policy based trusted destination addresses.
+If you only initiate a connection, the listen port and endpoint is optional, if you however act as a server and endpoints initiate the connections to your system, you need to define a port your clients can connect to, otherwise it's randomly chosen and may make it difficult with firewall rules, since the port may be a different one when you reboot your system.
+
+You will also need the public key of your peer as well as the network(s) you want to tunnel (allowed-ips) to configure a wireguard tunnel.
+The public key below is always the public key from your peer, not your local one.
+
+**local side**
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces wireguard wg01 address '10.1.0.1/24'
+ set interfaces wireguard wg01 description 'VPN-to-wg02'
+ set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 allowed-ips '10.2.0.0/24'
+ set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 endpoint '192.168.0.142:12345'
+ set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 pubkey 'XMrlPykaxhdAAiSjhtPlvi30NVkvLQliQuKP7AI7CyI='
+ set interfaces wireguard wg01 port '12345'
+ set protocols static interface-route 10.2.0.0/24 next-hop-interface wg01
+
+The last step is to define an interface route for 10.2.0.0/24 to get through the wireguard interface wg01.
+Multiple IPs or networks can be defined and routed, the last check is allowed-ips which either prevents or allows the traffic.
+
+**remote side**
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interfaces wireguard wg01 address '10.2.0.1/24'
+ set interfaces wireguard wg01 description 'VPN-to-wg01'
+ set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 allowed-ips '10.1.0.0/24'
+ set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 endpoint '192.168.0.124:12345'
+ set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 pubkey 'u41jO3OF73Gq1WARMMFG7tOfk7+r8o8AzPxJ1FZRhzk='
+ set interfaces wireguard wg01 port '12345'
+ set protocols static interface-route 10.1.0.0/24 next-hop-interface wg01
+
+Assure that your firewall rules allow the traffic, in which case you have a working VPN using wireguard.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ wg01# ping 10.2.0.1
+ PING 10.2.0.1 (10.2.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
+ 64 bytes from 10.2.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.16 ms
+ 64 bytes from 10.2.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.77 ms
+
+ wg02# ping 10.1.0.1
+ PING 10.1.0.1 (10.1.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
+ 64 bytes from 10.1.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=4.40 ms
+ 64 bytes from 10.1.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.02 ms
+
+An additional layer of symmetric-key crypto can be used on top of the asymmetric crypto, which is optional.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ wg01# run generate wireguard preshared-key
+ rvVDOoc2IYEnV+k5p7TNAmHBMEGTHbPU8Qqg8c/sUqc=
+
+Copy the key, it is not stored on the local file system.
+Make sure you distribute that key in a safe manner, it's a symmatric key, so only you and your peer should have knowledge if its content.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ wg01# set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 preshared-key 'rvVDOoc2IYEnV+k5p7TNAmHBMEGTHbPU8Qqg8c/sUqc='
