[WireGuard Client] Connect your server to VPNs

WireGuard client for YunoHost

CI update pending

WireGuard® is an extremely simple yet fast and modern VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography. It aims to be faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPsec, while avoiding the massive headache. It intends to be considerably more performant than OpenVPN.

Features

This is a special app, as all its magic happens through its configuration panel within the YunoHost webadmin.

Installation

This WireGuard Client package can be installed through:

• 
• YunoHost’s webadmin, in the Community listing
• YunoHost’s CLI: yunohost app install wireguard_client.

After installation, open your browser to WireGuard’s configuration panel in the webadmin.

Configuration

The first part of the configuration panel is a table summarizing the status of the VPN interfaces created by the app.

To add new interfaces:

1. List them in the List of VPN clients to handle. Click on Save to regenerate the configuration panel with the new interfaces.

2. Choose if the interface should be started at boot.

3. Upload the .conf file provided by the Wireguard Server.

Be wary of:

• the PostUp and PostDown instructions, they are run as root.
• the AllowedIPs, especially 0.0.0.0/0 and/or ::/0, as they will make your server redirect all its outgoing traffic through the VPN. Make sure the VPN works before enforcing them.

Hello and thanks for this. One question though; How will i be able to access Yunohost remotely? Supposedly if my wireguard server offers a static ip. Should also be a port open to access? Does this mean that any app will be accessed through that open port?

as @HoldMyGin

please, how this affects server connectivity for external public services like webapp, im, etc.?

thanks

Hello, can this app be a complement to this one especially for the post part?

Je poste ça ici, car je penses que cela peut être utile à d’autres membres de la communauté. I’m posting this here because I think it may be useful to other members of the community.

It should be able to do the same thing, but @rungeard :s post is then showing all the NAT-rules etc.

[Nico1]

Could be cool to integrate the rules editing with yunohost ui.

@HoldMyGin @ghose It all depends on the configuration. If it contains a route to 0.0.0.0 or firewall rules are added, it could definitely affect your services.

Bon et bien j’ai pu mix les deux sans trop de problème.
Sauf que le répertoire n’est plus le même.

J’avais juste deux services qui tournait en même temps, j’ai disable un service en laissé celui créé par l’app ynh.

Tout fonctionne.
