WireGuard is a modern VPN protocol that provides faster, simpler, and more secure VPN connections. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing WireGuard on Fedora CoreOS latest.
Step 1: Update the System
Before installing WireGuard, make sure that your system is up to date. To update the system, open the terminal and run the following command:
$ sudo dnf update
Step 2: Install WireGuard
After updating the system, you can proceed to install WireGuard. To install WireGuard on Fedora CoreOS, first, you need to add the WireGuard repository to your system. Run the following command to add the repository:

Next, install WireGuard and its dependencies by running the following command:
$ sudo dnf install NetworkManager-wireguard wireguard-tools
Step 3: Configure WireGuard
Once the installation is complete, you can configure WireGuard to start using it. First, create a configuration file called "wg0.conf" in the /etc/wireguard/ directory. You can use any text editor to create and edit the file. For example, run the following command to create the file using the Nano editor:
$ sudo nano /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
[Interface]
PrivateKey = <private_key>
Address = <ip_address>/24
[Peer]
PublicKey = <server_public_key>
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
Endpoint = <server_ip>:<port>
Replace the "
Finally, start the WireGuard interface by running the following command:
