Looking for a modern and effective VPN solution? WireGuard — is an innovative protocol for creating virtual private networks (WireGuard VPN) that combines high performance, ease of setup, and a high level of security. If you need to set up a VPN on various platforms such as Ubuntu, Linux, Debian, or Fedora, WireGuard provides versatile capabilities for this. Its main feature is minimalism: it is designed with a focus on ease of use and efficiency. For Windows users, WireGuard VPN for Windows is available, which expands its compatibility.

WireGuard is characterized by high speed, significantly outperforming many popular alternatives such as OpenVPN. Thanks to its open-source code and the absence of licensed fees (WireGuard price), the protocol becomes an attractive choice for many organizations and individual users. With WireGuard Manager, you can simplify the process of managing and configuring the server, which is especially useful when working with various Linux distributions, including WireGuard on Ubuntu, Debian WireGuard, and WireGuard on Fedora.

The protocol uses modern cryptographic algorithms that provide reliable data encryption and low connection latency. Additionally, WireGuard supports integration with SSH, allowing for extended functionality and an additional level of security. WireGuard VPN for Linux and other systems makes it accessible even for those who do not have deep technical knowledge, thanks to its simple interface and minimal configuration requirements.

 

Getting Started
  

1. Deploying the Server

To set up WireGuard, first deploy the server through the Marketplace.

 

2. Connecting to the Server

Connect to your new server via SSH. You can use the following instructions:

  • For Linux/MacOS: use your system's terminal.
  • For Windows: install PuTTY or use the built-in PowerShell.

 

When connecting, provide the password that was created during the server deployment, or use an SSH key. If you are unsure how to create an SSH key, refer to this guide.

 

Accessing Login Data
  

After successfully logging into the server:

  • Administrator credentials, including the password for the web interface, are stored in the file /root/.password_credentials.

 

 

To view the contents of this file, execute the following command:


  

cat /root/.password_credentials

 

 Accessing the Web Interface
  

To manage the WireGuard server, access the web interface. Open your browser and enter the IP address of your server, for example: http://11.22.33.44/.

 

 Note:
If the browser issues a warning about an unsafe SSL certificate, confirm it to continue. This is standard behavior and can be safely ignored.

 

 

Use the username Administrator and the password that was saved in the file /root/.password_credentials.

 

 

 

Adding a New User
  

After logging into the web interface, perform the following steps:

  • Go to the user management section.
  • Specify the name of the new user, for example: User.
  • Click the Create User button to create the user.

 

 

 

Downloading the Configuration File
  

For each WireGuard user, it is necessary to generate an individual configuration file. To do this:

  • Find the created user in the list.
  • Click the download button (downward arrow icon) next to the username.
  • Save the configuration file, for example: User.conf.

 

 

 Installing the WireGuard Client
  

 

Download the Client
In the server web interface, find the link to download the WireGuard client for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android).

 

Install the Client
Install the program on your device by following the standard steps for your OS.

 

Import Configuration
Open the installed WireGuard client. Import the User.conf file that was previously downloaded from the server web interface.

 

Connecting to the Server
After completing the import of the configuration file, activate the connection in the WireGuard client. Your device will connect to the server, and you will receive a new IP address assigned by the WireGuard server. This indicates that the VPN connection has been successfully established.
