WireGuard isn&#8217;t just another VPN protocol\u2014it&#8217;s a radical overhaul designed to be faster, simpler, and more secure than legacy VPN technologies like OpenVPN and IPsec. WireGuard&#8217;s primary function is the same as a traditional VPN: creating a secure, encrypted &#8220;tunnel&#8221; between your device (the client) and the VPN server (the exit point). However, WireGuard significantly improves it. If you want to improve the security and speed of your connection, it&#8217;s time to switch to WireGuard. In this article, we will show you how to configure WireGuard VPN on Debian 13 for secure remote access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a42e5c5afdd8\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a42e5c5afdd8\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-configure-wireguard-vpn-on-debian-13-for-secure-remote-access\/#Prerequisites\" >Prerequisites<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-configure-wireguard-vpn-on-debian-13-for-secure-remote-access\/#Step-1-Update-the-System\" >Step 1.

Update the System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s log in to your Debian 13 VPS through SSH as a root user or as a regular user with sudo privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>ssh root@IP_Address -p Port_number<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you cannot log in as root, remember to substitute &#8220;root&#8221; with a user that has sudo privileges. Additionally, change \u201cIP_Address\u201d and \u201cPort_Number\u201d to make sure they match your server\u2019s respective IP address and SSH port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can check whether you have the correct Debian version installed on your server with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># lsb_release -a<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should get this output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>No LSB modules are available.\nDistributor ID: Debian\nDescription:  Debian GNU\/Linux 13 (trixie)\nRelease:  13\nCodename: trixie<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-step-2-install-wireguard\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Install-WireGuard\"><\/span>Step 2. Install WireGuard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this step, we will install WireGuard from the default Debian repository. Let&#8217;s run the command below to install it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># apt install wireguard<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s it! WireGuard has been successfully installed, but it&#8217;s not running now. Let&#8217;s proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-step-3-create-a-private-key\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Create-a-Private-Key\"><\/span>Step 3. Create a Private Key<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use the &#8216;wg genkey&#8217; command to generate your private key. Store your private key in a safe place. For example, in \/etc\/wireguard\/wg_private.key with file permissions set to 600.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># wg genkey | tee \/etc\/wireguard\/wg_private.key<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once executed, the private key will be printed, similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>cEZd21N+oTCvbDhel6tt9C91fJ7iwbq56ivqnj6YG2U=<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same key will also be saved at \/etc\/wireguard\/wg_private.key<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, change the file permissions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># chmod 600 \/etc\/wireguard\/wg_private.key<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ll need this private key to generate the public key for our WireGuard server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-step-4-create-a-public-key\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-4-Create-a-Public-Key\"><\/span>Step 4. Create a Public Key<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, create a public key from the private key we created earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># cat \/etc\/wireguard\/wg_private.key | wg pubkey | tee \/etc\/wireguard\/wg_public.key<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ll need this public key to configure our WireGuard client (peer) connections. An example of a WireGuard public key used in this article:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">IBVd5e4TS72l1MaUXRFTnyj\/kMjcKe+iYwdHe8rhZ0k=<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-step-5-configure-the-wireguard-server\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-5-Configure-the-WireGuard-Server\"><\/span>Step 5. Configure the WireGuard Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before configuring your WireGuard server, we need to select\/define a private network IP range for the WireGuard connection you will use. We must use valid private network IP ranges. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Between 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10.0.0.0\/8)\nBetween 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0\/12)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid using IP ranges we already use or IP ranges frequently used by applications. For example, the default Docker installation uses the network 172.17.0.0\/16. If you&#8217;re using Docker, you&#8217;ll need to use a different IP range for your WireGuard network to avoid conflicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, I&#8217;ll use 10.10.10.0\/24 for my WireGuard network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll also need to specify which port (UDP) WireGuard will use. Many network devices (such as Netgate, QNAP, and others) use UDP port 51280 for their default WireGuard configuration. For this article, I&#8217;ll be using UDP port 51822.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, we have all the basic information we need to run the WireGuard server:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Server Public IP: 192.168.93.140\nServer Private Key: cEZd21N+oTCvbDhel6tt9C91fJ7iwbq56ivqnj6YG2U=\nServer Public Key: IBVd5e4TS72l1MaUXRFTnyj\/kMjcKe+iYwdHe8rhZ0k=\nServer Listen Port: UDP port 51822\nWireGuard Network: 10.10.10.0\/24<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create a file named wg0.conf for your WireGuard configuration in the \/etc\/wireguard folder and fill it with the following example configuration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"h-etc-wireguard-wg0-conf\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">\/etc\/wireguard\/wg0.conf<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The file should look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#91;Interface]\nPrivateKey = &lt;YOUR_SERVER_PRIVATE_KEY&gt;  \nAddress = &lt;YOUR_SERVER_WG_IP_ADDRESS&gt;  \nListenPort = &lt;SERVER_UDP_LISTEN_PORT&gt; \nSaveConfig = true<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note: In the configuration above, we chose 10.10.10.1 as our server&#8217;s IP address on the WireGuard network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Change &lt;YOUR_SERVER_PRIVATE_KEY&gt;, &lt;YOUR_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS&gt;, &lt;SERVER_UDP_LISTEN_PORT&gt; with the configuration you want.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we will use this information as the configuration file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#91;Interface]\nPrivateKey = cEZd21N+oTCvbDhel6tt9C91fJ7iwbq56ivqnj6YG2U=\nAddress = 10.10.10.1\/24\nListenPort = 51822\nSaveConfig = true<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-step-6-allow-ip-forwarding\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-6-Allow-IP-Forwarding\"><\/span>Step 6. Allow IP Forwarding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we want to allow peers (clients\/devices connected to our WireGuard network) to use the WireGuard server as their default gateway. This way, all outgoing network traffic (except to your local LAN\/WLAN) will use this WireGuard server. If you&#8217;re using WireGuard for peer-to-peer purposes only, you don&#8217;t need this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edit \/etc\/sysctl.conf and add net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 at the end of the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># nano \/etc\/sysctl.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Append this line to the file above<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>net.ipv4.ip_forward=1<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, run sudo sysctl -p to reload the new configuration in \/etc\/sysctl.conf that we just modified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># sysctl -p<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, you need to reset the firewall configuration so that peers (clients) can connect to the WireGuard server and client network traffic is routed correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-step-7-configure-the-firewall\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-7-Configure-the-Firewall\"><\/span>Step 7. Configure the Firewall<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This should be done on your server. You need to add the WireGuard port so it is accessible from anywhere. In this article, we also consider using UFW as the firewall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># ufw allow OpenSSH\n# ufw allow proto udp to any port 51822<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the WireGuard port you configured is not 51822, change it accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note that I also added OpenSSH to the allow list to prevent SSH connections from being dropped to the server if you haven&#8217;t previously configured\/enabled a firewall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once completed, we can enable\/restart UFW with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># ufw enable<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or, to restart it, run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># ufw reload<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, you need to know which interface your server uses as its default route. To find out, you can use the ip route list default command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># ip route list default<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The command will print an output similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>default via 192.168.93.140 dev ens33 proto static<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note the part after dev; that&#8217;s the default network interface. In the example above, our server&#8217;s default network interface is ens33.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, add the following configuration to \/etc\/wireguard\/wg0.conf under the [Interface] section:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>PostUp = ufw route allow in on wg0 out on ens33\nPostUp = iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o ens33 -j MASQUERADE\nPreDown = ufw route delete allow in on wg0 out on ens33\nPreDown = iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o ens33 -j MASQUERADE<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Change ens33 from the configuration above to match your server&#8217;s default network interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your \/etc\/wireguard\/wg0.conf configuration should look something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#91;Interface]\nPrivateKey = cEZd21N+oTCvbDhel6tt9C91fJ7iwbq56ivqnj6YG2U=\nAddress = 10.10.10.1\/24\nListenPort = 51822\nSaveConfig = true\n\nPostUp = ufw route allow in on wg0 out on ens33\nPostUp = iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o ens33 -j MASQUERADE\nPreDown = ufw route delete allow in on wg0 out on ens33\nPreDown = iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o ens33 -j MASQUERADE <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IP address 10.10.10.1\/24 is the WireGuard VPN server IP.

Configure WireGuard Client<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, create the directory to store all your client configuration files:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># mkdir \/etc\/wireguard\/clients<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The WireGuard client will load any file that ends in .conf, so you can give them descriptive names. In this article, we can create a wireguard-vpn-client.conf<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But first, we need to generate a key pair:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># wg genkey<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The command prints an output like this. You will get a different output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>yLHRt9BuimOp6k9v+gT41gvfL41q1FqsiXdbPdKZh0E=<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The private key above will be needed in our vpn client file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, run this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># echo 'yLHRt9BuimOp6k9v+gT41gvfL41q1FqsiXdbPdKZh0E=' | wg pubkey<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure to replace the key with your own key; you got it in the previous command. This command prints the public key; we do not need to save it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, let&#8217;s run the wg genkey command again. This time, the key will be used as the PRESHARED key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># wg genkey<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The command printed an output similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>CLirEWiBO1c8Ozy22hANQkL\/REmzoB90ZHNHB7GyTkU=<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, run this command to generate the public key again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># echo 'CLirEWiBO1c8Ozy22hANQkL\/REmzoB90ZHNHB7GyTkU=' | wg pubkey<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replace CLirEWiBO1c8Ozy22hANQkL\/REmzoB90ZHNHB7GyTkU= with your own key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, with the keys above, we can create the configuration file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># nano \/etc\/wireguard\/clients\/wireguard-vpn-client.conf <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Insert these into the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#91;Interface]\nAddress = 10.10.10.5\/24\nListenPort = 51822\nPrivateKey = yLHRt9BuimOp6k9v+gT41gvfL41q1FqsiXdbPdKZh0E=\nDNS = 1.1.1.1\n\n&#91;Peer]\nPublicKey = JJO0kZvMl5h0cpOZ1cr+qA0u7vVWpAgY8p1hp3PsCDo=\nPresharedKey = CLirEWiBO1c8Ozy22hANQkL\/REmzoB90ZHNHB7GyTkU=\nAllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0\/0\nEndpoint = 192.168.93.140:51822<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replace 192.168.93.140 with your WireGuard VPN server&#8217;s IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Save the file, then exit.
