Features

  • Fully automated WireGuard VPN server setup, no user input needed
  • Supports interactive install using custom options
  • Generates VPN profiles to auto-configure Windows, macOS, iOS and Android devices
  • Supports managing WireGuard VPN users
  • Optimizes sysctl settings for improved VPN performance

Installation

First, download the script on your Linux server*:

wget -O wireguard.sh https://get.vpnsetup.net/wg

Option 1: Auto install WireGuard using default options.

sudo bash wireguard.sh --auto
See the script in action (terminal recording).

Note: This recording is for demo purposes only.

For servers with an external firewall (e.g. EC2/GCE), open UDP port 51820 for the VPN.

Option 2: Interactive install using custom options.

sudo bash wireguard.sh
Click here if you are unable to download.

You may also use curl to download:

curl -fL -o wireguard.sh https://get.vpnsetup.net/wg

Then follow the instructions above to install.

Alternative setup URLs:

https://github.com/hwdsl2/wireguard-install/raw/master/wireguard-install.sh
https://gitlab.com/hwdsl2/wireguard-install/-/raw/master/wireguard-install.sh

If you are unable to download, open wireguard-install.sh, then click the Raw button on the right. Press Ctrl/Cmd+A to select all, Ctrl/Cmd+C to copy, then paste into your favorite editor.

Advanced: Auto install using custom options.

Advanced users can auto install WireGuard using custom options, by providing a Bash "here document" as input to the setup script. This method can also be used to provide input to manage users after install.

First, install WireGuard interactively using custom options, and write down all your inputs to the script.

sudo bash wireguard.sh

If you need to remove WireGuard, run the script again and select the appropriate option.

Next, create the custom install command using your inputs. Example:

sudo bash wireguard.sh <<ANSWERS
51820
client
2
y
ANSWERS

Note: The install options may change in future versions of the script.

* A cloud server, virtual private server (VPS) or dedicated server.

Next steps

After setup, you can run the script again to manage users or uninstall WireGuard.
