@ -59,3 +59,22 @@ WireGuard clients can be found for many devices.
For Android for example there is
[Wireguard for Android in the F-Droid store](https://f-droid.org/de/packages/com.wireguard.android/).
For most linux distributions there is a package called `wireguard`.
### Usage (WG)
Wireguard clients connect to servers by using a `.conf` file.
For mobile devices often times a QR-code can also be used.
In Linux based operating systems the `.conf` can be placed at
the path `/etc/wireguard/wg0.conf`.
Afterwards wireguard can be started and stopped by running the following
commands.
```
wg-quick up wg0
wg-quick down wg0
```
When using multiple `.conf` files the number behind `wg` can be incremented.
When starting and stopping wireguard with `wg-quick` the corresponding number
should be used.
