Wireguard Session Manager - Discussion thread (CLOSED/EXPIRED Oct 2021 use http://www.snbforums.com/threads/session-manager-discussion-2nd-thread.75129/)

I just took the latest wgm version for a spin (I removed the previous version and all S50wireguard occurrences.)

Is it me?

Code:

I'm not sure if I understand the reasoning behind your suggestion.

As I'm lazy, a free format text-based configuration file (whilst crude) was/is easy to implement/comprehend and doesn't require special tools/skills to modify.

So if I decided to use a formal TOML/JSON etc. format config file (or even an SQL database), would you still need to retain wg_manager.sh's esoteric config file when you have elected to remove WireGuard Session Manager from your router?

From my perspective, "As I'm lazy" too :), why would I have to modify a file that I already have.
While troubleshooting the slowness issue on my AX86, I removed the script a number of times and then reinstalled clean.

Maybe that's an extreme case, but I liked more your original take in the early versions where you renamed the file if it existed and created a new one.

Originally the .conf file was located in ''/jffs/configs/' but 'Addons' are expected to keep all their files within a single directory, so it was relocated to '/jffs/addons/wireguard/'.

I suppose I could relocate the .conf to '/opt/etc/wireguard/' along with all the other files.

Also, to accommodate the scenario where a dirty reinstall is being performed/requested, if .conf exists, then the install process should forego overwriting it with the sample templete .conf and also omit creating the sample 'client' and 'server' Peer configs 'wg11.conf' and 'wg21.conf'.

Yes, I would say, that's a sensible approach.

OK I understand.

Thanks for Beta testing - much appreciated.

P.S. I assume you have been through two consecutive 'format /jffs reboot' cycles?

except it should be wireguard.d

I so want to try this but I'm about to be dependent on my stable setup for several remote weeks. Ironically through a travel router on OpenVPN that is working well with WG. Watching this closely. Rock On!!
 
@Martineau: thank you for this great project! I switched to these scripts on a test basis.

Until now, I have always kept the IP addresses of the wg-servers on several asus routers different in terms of routing.
asus1: 10.150.41.1
asus2: 10.150.51.1
....

# For each 'server' Peer you need to allocate a unique VPN subnet
# VPN Subnet
wg21 Y 10.150.41.1/24 # RT-AX88U Local Host Peer 1
wg22 N 10.150.42.1/24 # RT-AX88U Local Host Peer 2

in WireguardVPN.conf but is not used.
Use iptables 10.50.1.1 default

Connect from client to server is possible, but access to lan or wan are not possible ?

To quote Miss Piggy: little ol' moi. So you are entitled to quote Peter Ustinov: not even for little ol' vous. :)

Your script, your style. In /opt/etc we have the example of init.d, syslog-ng.d, logrotate.d. And over in /jffs/addons that styling is now being followed by @Jack Yaz and @dev_null. Helps to avoid situations like /jffs/addons/cake-qos/cake-qos where the directory and the scripts have the same name; in your convention I know you avoid that by giving each different names.
 
Lots of great work. I will hold off setting up a Wireguard client connection until it is as easy as an openVPN client. There are way too many hoops to jump through for my old brain.

Q. Guess what happens when opkg install *.ipk was run?

A. Bingo! - It creates '/opt/etc/wireguard'

which would have been the case prior to using my script i.e. @Odkrys created the .ipk.

However, rather than use the repository created/required by existing (manual) early adopters of WireGuard on ASUS routers, I have now decided wg_manager v2.03 will physically create/use repository '/opt/etc/wireguard.d/' during the install so there should be no conflict.

i.e. opkg install (NOTE the file creation dates!)
Code: 
ls -lah /opt/etc/wireguard

Thanks for reporting the bug.

If you could spare the time, would you like to test a new version of the Beta wg_manager v3.01b ?

Normally a simple uf dev would suffice, but a change in the repository names has been forced upon me and I want to ensure you can migrate easily.

Backup your existing configs
Code: 
cp /jffs/addons/wireguard/WireguardVPN.conf /opt/tmp/

mv /opt/etc/wireguard /opt/etc/wireguard.b

Uninstall wg_manager Beta v2.02
Code: 
e  = Exit Script [?]

E:Option ==> 2

    Deleting Wireguard install directories and files
    Press Y to delete ALL WireGuard DATA files (Peer *.config etc.) ('/opt/etc/wireguard/') or press [Enter] to keep custom WireGuard DATA files.

    Deleted Peer Auto-start @BOOT

    nat-start updated - no longer protecting WireGuard firewall rules
    Deleted aliases for 'wg_manager.sh'

Done.


Install wg_manager Beta v3.01b from the Github development 'dev' branch
Code: 
curl --retry 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MartineauUK/wireguard/dev/wg_manager.sh" --create-dirs -o "/jffs/addons/wireguard/wg_manager.sh" && chmod 755 "/jffs/addons/wireguard/wg_manager.sh" && /jffs/addons/wireguard/wg_manager.sh install

Now restore your previous configuration
Code: 
cp /opt/tmp/WireguardVPN.conf /jffs/addons/wireguard/

cp /opt/etc/wireguard.b/wg*.conf /opt/etc/wireguard.d/

Now start the servers, and see if 10.50.* subnet has been replaced by your expected subnet(s)

i.e. display the firewall rules etc.
Code: 
e  = Exit Script [?]

E:Option ==> diag
 
@Martineau: thank you! now everything works as desired! I will continue to test...
 
Dear @Martineau can you please add support for R7000 it has the same architecture as the RT-AC86U. I successfully installed the armv7 kernel but the script is hard-coded for specific models, would be better to look which architecture it's running.

Thank you.

If you are a glutton for punishment, there is a new Beta wg_manager v3.01b5
