Wireguard on (current | 6.8 and higher )

Wireguard on OpenBSD

OpenBSD added wg to the Kernel a while ago … why not have a look into and do some speedtests … ?

Setup

CLIENT1 — WireGuard — CLIENT2

and running tcpbench between Client1 and Client2

Fireup VMs

Stage 3 VM’s on my litte Proxmox Server (Intel NUC)

host nic ip wg nic ip
Client1 em0 192.168.108.7 wg0 10.0.0.1
WireGuard em0 192.168.108.8 wg0 10.0.0.2
Client2 em0 192.168.108.0 wg0 10.0.0.3

wg_overlay: 10.0.0.0/24

Upgrade to current

wireguard will be fully implemented on Version 6.8 (Fall 2020). So, you have to go with current and install the latest snapshot

sysupgrade -s

update packages and add wg tools

pkg_add -Vu
pkg_add wireguard-tools--

Server

r=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
cat << EOF > /etc/hostname.wg0
wgkey ${r}
wgport 2222
inet 10.0.0.1/24
up
EOF

sh /etc/netstart wg0
ifconfig wg0

check the line wgpubkey (here: wgpubkey ipt2F1Y1Ue9vOvZS9YxBvThBWV2m589rqCsn1cPoL1k=)

Client 1

add the pubkey here to the “pub” variable. this host will get ip 10.0.0.2

pub="ipt2F1Y1Ue9vOvZS9YxBvThBWV2m589rqCsn1cPoL1k="
wg_server=192.168.109.8
wg_port=2222
myip=10.0.0.2
r=$(openssl rand -base64 32)

cat << EOF > /etc/hostname.wg0
wgkey ${r}
wgpeer ${pub} wgendpoint ${wg_server} ${wg_port} wgaip 0.0.0.0/0
inet ${myip}/24
up
EOF

sh /etc/netstart wg0
ifconfig wg0

Client 2

add the pubkey here to the “pub” variable. this host will get ip 10.0.0.3

pub="ipt2F1Y1Ue9vOvZS9YxBvThBWV2m589rqCsn1cPoL1k="
wg_server=192.168.109.8
wg_port=2222
myip=10.0.0.3
r=$(openssl rand -base64 32)

cat << EOF > /etc/hostname.wg0
wgkey ${r}
wgpeer ${pub} wgendpoint ${wg_server} ${wg_port} wgaip 0.0.0.0/0
inet ${myip}/24
up
EOF

sh /etc/netstart wg0
ifconfig wg0

Add Clients to Server Config

add two lines, one for each client. you get the public key with: ifconfig wg0 on the clients

wgkey wJJkpNL5Ax/Ol0tbEWCvJVxw1T17NdH6wMSR2DV2IcY=
wgport 2222

wgpeer TFd5zJwnm/NyZPWteBL1VdM1YbzGiOCcx6PEQDYMUAs= wgaip 10.0.0.2/32
wgpeer tWLF0TaK8fObpan2hzxIcgndnK+MCFhi2Bb4HdARmHM= wgaip 10.0.0.3/32

inet 10.0.0.1/24
up

enable ip forwarding on server

echo "net.inet.ip.forwarding=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

disable pf.conf

for our testing, we can disable the packetfilter on all three machines. don’t do this in production !

pfctl -d
