HOWTO Use VPN
The router running at i3Detroit runs a WireGuard VPN servers, which members can use to gain remote access to the space. Once you are connected, the i3 fileshare and any of the remote desktop protocol machines should work as if you were on the network in the space.
For credentials, please contact Mara Furland or Ivy at least a week before needed, please!
Initial Setup
The official WireGuard client is a good place to start, but most any client will likely work just fine. They support Windows, macOS, several Linux distros, iOS, and Android.
macOS
- Download: Open the Mac App Store and search for "WireGuard" and install it.
- Configuration: Obtain a WireGuard configuration file (.conf) from Mara or Ivy.
- Import: Launch the WireGuard app, click "Import tunnel(s) from file", select your .conf file, and click "Allow" to import it.
- Activate: Click the "Activate" button to start the VPN connection.
Linux
The official WireGuard client for Linux does not have a standalone GUI, instead it functions as a network extension and can be managed through your desktop manager. Well, except for the initial import it seems, which is broken at the time of writing. To import your config from the command line, run:
# rename to wg0.conf or wgi3.conf nmcli connection import type wireguard file wg0.conf
Further configuration is available under Settings > Network > VPN.
