See https://www.wireguard.com for more information. **************** Site to Site VPN **************** This diagram corresponds with the example site to site configuration below. .. figure:: /_static/images/wireguard_site2site_diagram.jpg ******** Keypairs ******** WireGuard requires the generation of a keypair, which includes a private key to decrypt incoming traffic, and a public key for peer(s) to encrypt traffic. Generate Keypair ================ .. opcmd:: generate pki wireguard key-pair It generates the keypair, which includes the public and private parts.

If you only initiate a connection, the listen port and address/port is optional; however, if you act like a server and endpoints initiate the connections to your system, you need to define a port your clients can connect to, otherwise the port is randomly chosen and may make connection difficult with firewall rules, since the port may be different each time the system is rebooted. 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 - commands** - WireGuard interface itself uses address 10.1.0.1/30 - We only allow the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet to travel over the tunnel - Our remote end of the tunnel for peer `to-wg02` is reachable at 192.0.2.1 port 51820 - The remote peer `to-wg02` uses XMrlPykaxhdAAiSjhtPlvi30NVkvLQliQuKP7AI7CyI= as its public key portion - We listen on port 51820 - We route all traffic for the 192.168.2.0/24 network to interface `wg01` .. code-block:: none set interfaces wireguard wg01 address '10.1.0.1/30' set interfaces wireguard wg01 description 'VPN-to-wg02' set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 allowed-ips '192.168.2.0/24' set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 address '192.0.2.1' set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 port '51820' set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer to-wg02 public-key 'XMrlPykaxhdAAiSjhtPlvi30NVkvLQliQuKP7AI7CyI=' set interfaces wireguard wg01 port '51820' set protocols static route 192.168.2.0/24 interface wg01 The last step is to define an interface route for 192.168.2.0/24 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. .. warning:: You can not assign the same allowed-ips statement to multiple WireGuard peers. This a design decision.

It just lacks the ``address`` and ``port`` statements. In the following example, the IPs for the remote clients are defined in the peers. This allows the peers to interact with one another. In comparison to the site-to-site example the ``persistent-keepalive`` flag is set to 15 seconds to assure the connection is kept alive. This is mainly relevant if one of the peers is behind NAT and can't be connected to if the connection is lost. To be effective this value needs to be lower than the UDP timeout. .. code-block:: none wireguard wg01 { address 10.172.24.1/24 address 2001:db8:470:22::1/64 description RoadWarrior peer MacBook { allowed-ips 10.172.24.30/32 allowed-ips 2001:db8:470:22::30/128 persistent-keepalive 15 pubkey F5MbW7ye7DsoxdOaixjdrudshjjxN5UdNV+pGFHqehc= } peer iPhone { allowed-ips 10.172.24.20/32 allowed-ips 2001:db8:470:22::20/128 persistent-keepalive 15 pubkey BknHcLFo8nOo8Dwq2CjaC/TedchKQ0ebxC7GYn7Al00= } port 2224 } The following is the config for the iPhone peer above. It's important to note that the ``AllowedIPs`` wildcard setting directs all IPv4 and IPv6 traffic through the connection. .. code-block:: none [Interface] PrivateKey = ARAKLSDJsadlkfjasdfiowqeruriowqeuasdf= Address = 10.172.24.20/24, 2001:db8:470:22::20/64 DNS = 10.0.0.53, 10.0.0.54 [Peer] PublicKey = RIbtUTCfgzNjnLNPQ/ulkGnnB2vMWHm7l2H/xUfbyjc= AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0 Endpoint = 192.0.2.1:2224 PersistentKeepalive = 25 However, split-tunneling can be achieved by specifying the remote subnets.

To ease deployment one can generate a "per mobile" configuration from the VyOS CLI. .. warning:: From a security perspective, it is not recommended to let a third party create and share the private key for a secured connection. You should create the private portion on your own and only hand out the public key. Please keep this in mind when using this convenience feature. .. opcmd:: generate wireguard client-config interface server address Using this command, you will create a new client configuration which can connect to ``interface`` on this router. The public key from the specified interface is automatically extracted and embedded into the configuration. The command also generates a configuration snipped which can be copy/pasted into the VyOS CLI if needed. The supplied ```` on the CLI will become the peer name in the snippet. In addition you will specifiy the IP address or FQDN for the client where it will connect to. The address parameter can be used up to two times and is used to assign the clients specific IPv4 (/32) or IPv6 (/128) address. .. figure:: /_static/images/wireguard_qrcode.jpg :alt: WireGuard Client QR code .. stop_vyoslinter .. _`WireGuard mailing list`: https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2018-December/003704.html .. start_vyoslinter
