Wireguard client?

Mon Feb 13, 2023 2:39 am

Hi,

The documentation I've read (https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WireGuard) covers setting up a wireguard server.
I couldn't decipher how I can set-up a client to route traffic from the LAN through a wireguard client interface?

Any tips or help would be great.

Thanks

Actually there is no client/server in wireguard. Everything is a peer.
But let's assume there is ...

It depends on the client you are using.
If e.g. Windows, you need to install the Wireguard service and then setup the connection using private/public key as specified in app.

Can you be a bit more specific on what you're trying to do ?

Ahh okay that makes a bit more sense.

What I am trying to do is create a tunnel to a wireguard peer (details provided by VPN provider) and then route LAN traffic from some devices via this tunnel/interface.
Here is a simplistic diagram to visualise.

So you want to setup the tunnel from AX3 to public VPN ?

See viewtopic.php?t=182340
section 7.
