Download Wireguard Without App Store
Ernestina Spenard
Hey there! The question is quite simple: how do I install a WireGuard client on iOS without being able to use the official version. As for mainland China, the official WireGuard iOS is blocked and cannot be downloaded even when using a VPN (as a non-Chinese apple ID is required, thanks Apple!). However, I know there were options to install it with TestFlight back in the day, and I've even found a git repository that has the uncompiled code for such an iOS application.
If you're having trouble setting up WireGuard or using it, the best place to get help is the #wireguard IRC channel on Libera.Chat. We also discuss development tasks there and plan the future of the project.
Please report any security issues to, and only to, secu...@wireguard.com. Do not send non-security-related issues to this email alias. Do not send security-related issues to different email addresses.
I get this weird error when I first install the official Wireguard app (note: from Aurora store, not playstore). It says the app is corrupt, will not let me continue unless I go to their webpage. Did anybody else ever get that problem? Would you like to try to replicate it? Screenshot follows:

I am building a Wireguard VPN network, in which I want to add and remove peers on the server without restarting the service or losing connections with existing peers. Tried searching for the results, but I found nothing that can suit my needs (all the solutions will cause a few second freeze or will require clients to redo handshake with server). Is it possible to implement this with Wireguard and if yes, how?
I'm working on a similar project, and my conclusion is that you're better off keeping all configuration inside your own database, and completely skipping wireguard config files for the peer setup. You might still want to use the wireguard config file for the [Interface] section, which my example below uses. But you could do that programmatically too, should you need to.
Its subcommand wg syncconf used conjointly with wg-quick strip is intended to update settings without disruption for current peer communication with changed settings in the configuration file as documented in wg-quick and wg's manpages:
So to repeat the example, if the configuration for interface wg0, usually used with wg-quick is in /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf (or any other Distribution-specific place) and a [Peer] section was just added (resp. removed) to this file, to make this peer available (resp. not available anymore) without disrupting communication with already configured peers, then run as root in a bash shell:
The issue is it doesn't transfer the peer config. It transfers the server config. That's a massive security flaw.
i can only talk for the scenario without defined peers (on server side) though because if you add a peer the QR Code won't get accepted anymore on Android. The QR Code generation is buggy as hell at the moment.
The issue is it doesn't transfer the peer config . It transfers the server config . That's a massive security flaw.

I don't know if it is true or not, that the QR code contains the private key, I only said that it should not.
And nobody has said that it does not store the private key, and you seem to confirm that it stores al, the server config.
Everything its fine till the part where explains that you run the wireguard create and your supose to save the config to a .conf, all fine. And then explains that you need to open your wireguard app and choose Import tunnel from file....
I didn't really have a clear goal in mind when I started playing with this - part of it was in trying to create and launch a tunnel without using the GUI. Mostly I was just trying to learn more about a new implementation of a tool that I really like.
Wireguard for Windows stores it's config files in the Windows DPAPI-encrypted vault. This is vastly better than just bunging a file in C:\Users\Blah and hoping for the best. Maybe it's not perfect - I don't know much about DPAPI - but it's a far cry better than nothing.
When you use wireguard.exe to import a tunnel from a .conf file, it will read it in, sanity-check it (mine failed because I accidentally hit the keyboard during copy/pasta, so it rejected the Base64 encoding), and then safely store it away in the DPAPI storage. You can then delete your original .conf file. Just do this, it's better.
OK so here's the bit that I only fully realised tonight: wireguard.exe is like wg-quick, but it also provides the interface into the Windows network stack and the Windows DPAPI storage of your sensitive conf files. You can't even run wg set without it, because wireguard.exe is even responsible for creating the IPC Server that interfaces with WinTun.
note, cannot install resolvconf inside lxd/lxc container because it breaks oth er things. commenting out the DNS entry in the wireguard and the sybmolic link mentioned above seems to work in lxc containers.
Currently, WireGuard does not support comments or attaching human-memorable names to keys. This makes identifying the key's owner difficult particularly when multiple keys are in use. One solution is to generate a public key that contains some familiar characters (perhaps the first few letters of the owner's name or of the hostname etc.), wireguard-vanity-addressAUR does this.
Persistent configuration can be achieved using wg-quick@.service, which is shipped with wireguard-tools, or using a network manager. Network managers that support WireGuard are systemd-networkd, netctl[2], NetworkManager and ConnMan[3].
To implement persistent site-to-peer, peer-to-site or site-to-site type of connection with WireGuard and Netctl, just add appropriate Routes= line into the netctl profile configuration file and add this network to AllowedIPs in the WireGuard profile, e.g. Routes=('192.168.10.0/24 dev wg0') in the /etc/netctl/wg0 and AllowedIPs=10.0.0.1/32, 192.168.10.0/24 in /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf and then do not forget to enable IP forwarding.
Luckily, wireguard-tools provides an example script /usr/share/wireguard-tools/examples/reresolve-dns/reresolve-dns.sh, that parses WG configuration files and automatically resets the endpoint address.
In case the WireGuard peer (mostly server) adding or removing another peers from its configuration and wants to reload it without stopping any active sessions, one can execute the following command to do it:
systemd version 253 introduced a change in how network interfaces are reconfigured when resuming from a suspended state[7]. In doing so, network connections managed by systemd-networkd will lose connection to the wireguard interface. Unless a kill switch is configured, this risks exposing the public IP address after resuming from suspend. To fix this, uncomment and change the value to no for ManageForeignRoutingPolicyRules in /etc/systemd/networkd.conf. [8]
With the configuration in place, we are ready to start the server. WireGuard has a convenient wrapper called wg-quick that can be used to start new interfaces without needing to go into the setup details. You can use it to start your configuration using the following command.
I also have another error by running:
root@WireGuard-VPN:/etc/wireguard# sudo modprobe wireguard
modprobe: FATAL: Module wireguard not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.44-1-pve
root@WireGuard-VPN:/etc/wireguard#
Is there a way to have multiple wg interfaces, so that I could use them as vlan interfaces? Scenerio: I have different wireguard clients connecting to my wireguard server and I need a way to tag their traffic to place them on different vlans. The wireguard server will be connected to a trunk port on a switch.
HI, Thanks for the great tutorial, I am trying to integrate wireguard with my ios app. Problem is we need to set different allowed IP for every Peer in wg0.conf (server config file). If we add manual entry in wg0.conf file then its ok we can add by incrementing allowed IP by one for newly added Peer. But in my case I have to do this programmatically. Is there any dynamic way to solve this problem? any recommendation as best practice from your side ?
Thanks again for the wonderful guide :)
I have a VPS server running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS where I wanted to install a WireGuard VPN service. I have started with adding the repository and then installing the module which is running fine and without any error messages.
I am testing alternatives to replace the AutoVPN for the HK Shanghai leg. My current test is using separate wireguard appliances in HK & Shanghai, and a 3rd appliance in the Alibaba cloud, all connected to their own VPN. This works fine, and is stable. See diagram.
However, I cannot work out how to configure the static route so clients from London can talk to Shanghai. I added a static route in London for the Shanghai subnet, and next hop 192.168.100.1, then in site-to-site VPN, I set this static route to 'in vpn'. I also added a static route in HK for the Shanghai subnet, and next hop 192.168.110.8 (the wireguard appliance), but pings from London don't get through (I have added a firewall exception on all MX's for ICMP).
I could if I knew how! From the look of it, the VeeamPN appliance doesn't store the wireguard interface config in the usual location, typically /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf I have searched all over for "wg0.conf" and "wg.veeampn" but can't find the file. I don't think Veeam offer any support for this product, so I may have to look at another solution.
