Wiregaurd proxmox setup (ip-transit)
WireGuard Proxmox Public IP Routing Setup
📦 Step 1: Install WireGuard
apt update apt install wireguard wireguard-tools -y
📁 Step 2: Create WireGuard Config
nano /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
Add inside the [Interface] section:
PostUp = /etc/wireguard/up.sh PostDown = /etc/wireguard/down.sh
Example:
[Interface] PrivateKey = YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY Address = YOUR_WG_IP PostUp = /etc/wireguard/up.sh PostDown = /etc/wireguard/down.sh [Peer] PublicKey = SERVER_KEY Endpoint = SERVER_IP:PORT AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0 PersistentKeepalive = 25
📜 Step 3: Create Persistent Routing Script
nano /etc/wireguard/up.sh
#!/bin/bash
for ip in {113..117}; do
ip rule add from 5.231.32.$ip/32 table 11 prio 1
ip route add 5.231.32.$ip/32 dev vmbr0 table 11
ip route add 5.231.32.$ip/32 dev vmbr0
done
sleep 1
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/proxy_arp
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/proxy_ndp
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
📴 Step 4: Create Cleanup Script
nano /etc/wireguard/down.sh
#!/bin/bash
for ip in {113..117}; do
ip route del 5.231.32.$ip/32 dev vmbr0
ip route del 5.231.32.$ip/32 dev vmbr0 table 11
ip rule del from 5.231.32.$ip/32 table 11 prio 1
done
sleep 2
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/proxy_arp
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/proxy_ndp
🔐 Step 5: Make Scripts Executable
chmod +x /etc/wireguard/up.sh chmod +x /etc/wireguard/down.sh
🌐 Step 6: Make Forwarding Persistent
nano /etc/sysctl.d/99-wireguard.conf
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 net.ipv4.conf.all.proxy_arp=1 net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 net.ipv6.conf.default.proxy_ndp=1
sysctl --system
🚀 Step 7: Enable WireGuard On Boot
systemctl enable --now wg-quick@wg0
systemctl status wg-quick@wg0
Check routes:
ip rule ip route show table 11
✅ Done
Your public IPs will now survive:
- Proxmox reboot
- WireGuard restart
- Server restart
