wireguard
for wireguard support we need to switch to development channel:
/system package update set channel=development
then download the latest update:
/system package update download
reboot the router:
/system reboot
add wireguard interface:
/interface/wireguard add name=wg0 mtu=1420
add wireguard peer using server information:
/interface/wireguard/peers add endpoint=12.34.56.78:51820 persistent-keepalive=61 public-key="75VNV7HqFh+3QIT5OHZkcjWfbjx8tc6Ck62gZJT/KRA=" allowed-address="10.10.10.0/24" interface=wg0
add ip address to interface:
/ip/address add address=10.10.10.3/24 network=10.10.10.0 interface=wg0
add the following on the server configuration:
[Peer] PublicKey=pEU+xV6YeWOKT34iECYDPRW99oLZKYodkUtjdIV8CwI= AllowedIPs=10.10.10.3/32
restart wireguard on server:
