/etc/network/interfaces.d/wg0.cfg

auto wg0
iface wg0 inet static
        address 192.168.120.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0

Reboot server after network setup, that make sure that interface wg0 append successful

Setup iptables and NAT on Wireguard server

For masquerading all traffic to internet we should setup iptables. For setup iptables we use ferm.

1. Enable forward traffic

# echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
# sysctl -p
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

2. Install ferm

# apt install ferm

Create file

vim /etc/ferm/ferm.d/wg_nat.conf

/etc/ferm/ferm.d/wg_nat.conf

table nat {
    chain POSTROUTING {
        outerface eth0 MASQUERADE;
    }
}

table filter {
    chain INPUT {
        # Allow wireguard ports
        proto (tcp udp) dport 51820 ACCEPT;
    }
    chain FORWARD {
        # Allow forward only 192.168.120.0/24 clients networks
        saddr 192.168.120.0/24 daddr 0.0.0.0/0 ACCEPT;
    }
}

Apploy ferm setting

# ferm /etc/ferm/ferm.conf

[Peer]
PublicKey = cmfyWxlXbFKpdtnsI2a0WF2bu7/MZRcV+Kf6aF/osxY= # public key generated on client side
AllowedIPs = 192.168.120.2/32 # ip address allowed to connect with this public key

Apply configuration on server

# wg setconf wg0 /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf

Check connections

# wg
