Wireguard

I had two goals I wanted to accomplish with VPNs. I first wanted to redirect all outbound traffic from a specific subnet through a VPN so any client on that subnet would have increased privacy. My second goal was to allow me to VPN into my home network from somewhere else and have access to everything as if I was sitting on my computer at home. To accomplish this I used a new exciting addition the Linux kernel WireGuard.

Setup

To use Wireguard inside of a LXC container the host has to have Wireguard installed since LXC guests are run with the kernel of the host system. Additionally I need the wireguard-tools package in the LXC guest.
