Hi fediverse,
what's the best way to setup Wireguard on a OpenBSD laptop (client) where I only need the VPN occasionally ? i.e I want to be able to enable and disable when needed.
@greylinux I use the wireguard-tools package for this. Set up your config in /etc/wireguard and then wg-quick up wg0 (or whatever your config is called), then wg-quick down wg0 when you're done. 🙂
@hund@fosstodon.org I managed to set it up with WG and hostname.wg0 , the native option on OpenBSD but then it's always on.
So I think I will go the wg-quick route , like I have on my other machines.
@greylinux Ah! I haven't really looked into VPN services ön OpenBSD. I should probably do that.
Anyway. You don't always use a VPN? You're a brave person! Or is it just me being too paranoid? :D
@hund@fosstodon.org I should have explained this is a VPN to my home network so I can use services on my LAN and maintain them when remote. I always use a VPN for searching. But I don't need this VPN active unless I need to access the LAN
