VPN

Why Use a VPN?¶

Using a VPN provides an essential layer of security. It ensures that sensitive business data—such as administration panels, statistics, and internal documentation—cannot be accessed from outside the corporate network.

How to Set Up¶

1. Install WireGuard¶

Follow the installation steps corresponding to your operating system on the official WireGuard website.

2. Set Up Keys¶

You need to generate a public and private key pair to authenticate your connection. Run the following commands in your terminal:

wg genkey | tee ~/wireguard_private.key

wg pubkey < ~/wireguard_private.key | tee ~/wireguard_public.key

3. Create the Interface¶

Create your WireGuard configuration file and paste the following snippet. Make sure to replace the placeholder variables with your actual keys and assigned IP address.

[Interface]
Address = 10.0.0.3/24  # <- Your assigned VPN IP (provided by the administrator)
PrivateKey = <CLIENT_PRIVATE_KEY> # <- Your private key
DNS = 10.0.0.1

[Peer]
PublicKey = <SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY> # <- Server public key
Endpoint = ssh.moviesxmovies.jonaykb.com:51820
AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.0/24

4. Request Access¶

Next, you must contact [email protected] to get your public key whitelisted. Please include the following information in your email:

`<CLIENT_PUBLIC_KEY>`
`<GITHUB_USERNAME>`

5. Connect and Verify¶

Once your setup is complete and access is granted, bring up the interface to connect:

sudo wg-quick up wg0

To verify that the connection was successful, check your WireGuard status:

sudo wg show

Success Check: You should now be able to reach internal services (for example, Grafana at 10.0.0.1:3000). Additionally, the output of sudo wg show should display a last handshake line, confirming an active and healthy connection.
