Wireguard

[Wireguard] Set up Wireguard using PiVPN inside LXC

 ,

Recently I had to setup a new Proxmox host and also had to setup a VPN to access the network of the host. This time I gave PiVPN a try, since it recently added support for Wireguard.
So first I installed Wireguard on the host like here (without adding the TUN device to the containers config), set up a new unprivileged container running debian buster, set up port forwarding in the router, installed curl followed by the one liner for PiVPN.

apt install curl
curl -L https://install.pivpn.io | bash

And that was almost it. Now just add a device and use the QR-Code the use it on Android.

pivpn -a
pivpn -qr

PiVPN delivers what it promises! That was super easy to setup.

Android, Wireguard

[Wireguard] Wireguard on Android

 , ,

Update 11.05.2020: I recommend using the PiVPN script (especially when using a unprivileged container). https://nocin.eu/wireguard-set-up-wireguard-using-pivpn-inside-lxc/

In the F-Droid Store you’ll find the wireguard android app.

To get wireguard running, add a new peer to your server. So ssh into your sever (in my case an lxc on proxmox) and create a new key pair.

wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey

Now create the android.conf. Define the interface and add your server as peer.

[Interface]
PrivatKey = <android_privat_key>
Address = 192.168.1.3/24
DNS = 192.168.1.102
 
[Peer]
PublicKey = <server_public_key>
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
Endpoint = my.doamin.org:51820
PersistentKeepalive = 25

Then add the new android peer to the server config.

[Peer]
PublicKey = <android_public_key>
AllowedIPs = 192.168.1.3/32

Now restart the wireguard interface to load the new config:

wg-quick down wg0
wg-quick up wg0

The fastest way to get your config on the android client is using a QR-Code. I used greencode for this.

apt install greencode
qrencode -t ansiutf8 < android.conf

Open your wireguard app, scan the QR-Code and connect to your server.

LXC, Wireguard

[Wireguard] Configuring Wireguard in LXC

 , , ,

Update 11.05.2020: I recommend using the PiVPN script (especially when using an unprivileged container). https://nocin.eu/wireguard-set-up-wireguard-using-pivpn-inside-lxc/

I followed these three guides: 1, 2 and 3
First set folder permissions and genereate the first key pair inside your lxc.

umask 077
wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey

Then create the config file. Mine is called wg0.conf.
As address you can take whatever IP you want. I also added NAT to get internet access with the client through my container.
For the client you have to create on the client side a key pair and enter the public key in the server wg0.conf as peer. Now your config should have an interface and a peer part.

[Interface]
Address = 192.168.1.1/24
SaveConfig = true
PostUp = iptables -A FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
PostDown = iptables -D FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
ListenPort = 51820
FwMark = 0xca6c
PrivateKey = <private_server_key>

[Peer]
#1. Peer Phone
PublicKey = <public_client_key>
AllowedIPs = 192.168.1.2/32

[Peer]
#2. Peer Notebook
PublicKey = <public_client_key>
AllowedIPs = 192.168.1.3/32

Then create the config on the client side. Mine is called client.conf. As peer we now enter our public server key.

[Interface]
PrivateKey = <private_client_key>
Address = 192.168.1.2/24
#this is my local pi-hole
DNS = 192.168.1.102                

[Peer]
PublicKey = <public_server_key>
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
Endpoint = my.domain.org:51820
PersistentKeepalive = 25

That’s all we need. Now start the interface in your container, after that on the client.

wg-quick up wg0

To check the connection status just run:

wg show

I testet my connection with IP-Leak and ifconfig.me.

To stop the interface run:

wg-quick down wg0

To set up the VPN interface to be persistent across reboots, enable it as service:

sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0.service
LXC, Proxmox, Wireguard

[Wireguard] Preparing Proxmox Host for Wireguard in LXC

 , ,

I followed this guide for using Wireguard inside LXC on Proxmox. (Also helpfull)

echo "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unstable.list
printf 'Package: *\nPin: release a=unstable\nPin-Priority: 90\n' > /etc/apt/preferences.d/limit-unstable
apt update
apt install wireguard

But as i ran “modprobe wireguard” I just got:

modprobe: FATAL: Module wireguard not found in directory /lib/modules/5.0.15-1-pve

So I ran “dkms autoinstall”… but no success.

Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 5.0.15-1-pve cannot be found.
Please install the linux-headers-5.0.15-1-pve package,
or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located

As I run “apt install pve-headers” it installed new pve-headers but for a different kernel:

pve-headers pve-headers-5.0 pve-headers-5.0.21-1-pve

As expected, “modprobe wireguard” still returned 

modprobe: FATAL: Module wireguard not found in directory /lib/modules/5.0.15-1-pve

So i checked my current kernel with “uname –kernel-release” and since my last reboot was about two weeks ago, it was running on 5.0.15-1-pve. So I did a reboot, checked the kernel again and now it was on 5.0.21-1-pve. So I did “dkms autoinstall” again, now with success:

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

DKMS: install completed.

“modprobe wireguard” now returned no error. I continued the guide with:

echo "wireguard" >> /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

Entered my already created Debian 10 container and followed the guide:

echo "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unstable-wireguard.list
printf 'Package: *\nPin: release a=unstable\nPin-Priority: 90\n' > /etc/apt/preferences.d/limit-unstable
apt update
apt-get install --no-install-recommends wireguard-tools
ip link add wg0 type wireguard

Edit: To get Wireguard working, I also had to add the TUN device to the containers config, like I did for OpenVPN as well.
You’ll find the config here: /etc/pve/lxc/container_name.conf

lxc.cgroup.devices.allow: c 10:200 rwm
lxc.hook.autodev: sh -c "modprobe tun; cd ${LXC_ROOTFS_MOUNT}/dev; mkdir net; mknod net/tun c 10 200; chmod 0666 net/tun"
