How to Setup a Wireguard VPN Connection in Windows

Setting up a WireGuard VPN on Windows can be a bit more complicated than on other platforms, but it is still possible. Here are the general steps you can follow:

1. Download and install the WireGuard Windows client from the official website.
2. Generate a private key for the client by running the following command in the Command Prompt or PowerShell: “wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey“
3. Create a new WireGuard configuration file by running the command “New-Item -Type File -Name wg0.conf“
4. Open the configuration file using a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++
5. Add the following information to the configuration file:

• The private key generated in step 2
• The server’s public key
• The server’s IP address and port number
• The client’s IP address
• The DNS server to be used

6. Save the configuration file and close the text editor
7. Run the command “Add-NetEventNetworkAdapter -Name “WireGuard” -InterfaceAlias wg0” to create a virtual network adapter
8. Run the command “Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceAlias wg0 -Dhcp Disabled” to disable DHCP on the virtual network adapter
9. Run the command “New-NetIPAddress -IPAddress 10.0.0.2 -PrefixLength 24 -InterfaceAlias wg0” to assign an IP address to the virtual network adapter
10. Run the command “Add-NetRoute -DestinationPrefix 0.0.0.0/0 -InterfaceAlias wg0 -NextHop 10.0.0.1” to route all traffic through the VPN
11. Run the command “Start-NetEventSession -Name wg0 -ConfPath $pwd\wg0.conf” to start the WireGuard VPN
12. Run the command “Get-NetEventSession” to confirm that the VPN is running and the status of the connection
