Ditching OpenVPN for Wireguard

General Discussion
21

Hi,

Thanks but unfortunately not what I’m looking for. I think you should be able to provide the service file with:

cat /lib/systemd/system/wg-quick.service | paste-log

Conf file as follows:

cat /etc/wireguard/Toronto.conf | paste-log

Or if contains any login credentials you may wish to copy and modify before uploading:

cp /etc/wireguard/Toronto.conf ~

modify with nano or vi to remove any credentials: nano ~/Toronto.conf

Then upload:

cat ~/Toronto.conf | paste-log

Regards Tom.

Hi,

Please provide the out of: systemctl status wg-quick

Thanks Tom.

Tom try this, a start and stop of wg-quick.

Also here is my current wg0.conf

http://paste.osmc.tv/ufozagerek.vala

My current setup works correctly with these commands

systemctl enable wg-quick@wgo - boots with IP and DNS provided by Surfshark
or if not enabled
systemctl start wg-quick@wgo

What still is not working
systemctl stop wg-quick@wgo - the original DNS I provided in network setup is lost
/etc/resolv.conf is empty.

Hi,

Is this with openresolv or resolvconf

Also please provide the link from:

cat /lib/systemd/system/wg-quick@.service | paste-log

Thanks Tom.

Thanks Tom got it. Did a fresh os install turned instructions into a script bingo, everything worked.
Went back to the other sdcard and purged resolvconf, worked. Connman wasn’t the problem.
Weird how manual worked but systemctl didn’t.
Once again thanks

just in case sb stumbles over this topic (as I did) and finds the pastes are gone (as expected), I shared a small pseudo-tutorial on the other thread:
