+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 more
+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='
+ wg02# set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg01 preshared-key 'rvVDOoc2IYEnV+k5p7TNAmHBMEGTHbPU8Qqg8c/sUqc='
