01 WireGuard installieren und Schlüssel generieren
The kernel module is already present on any modern Linux distribution running on KVM.
apt update && apt install -y wireguard
umask 077
wg genkey | tee /etc/wireguard/server.key | wg pubkey > /etc/wireguard/server.pub02 Die Serverkonfiguration schreiben
Replace eth0 with your actual interface name if it differs — check with ip -br link. The Address line defines the tunnel subnet, not your public address.
# /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
[Interface]
Address = 10.66.66.1/24, fd42:42::1/64
ListenPort = 51820

PostUp = nft add table ip nat; nft add chain ip nat post { type nat hook postrouting priority 100 \; }; nft add rule ip nat post oifname "eth0" masquerade

Forwarding must be enabled for both address families, or IPv6 clients will fail silently.

Generate a key pair per device. AllowedIPs on the server side is the address that device will hold inside the tunnel — not a range.
wg set wg0 peer <CLIENT_PUBLIC_KEY> allowed-ips 10.66.66.2/32,fd42:42::2/128
wg-quick save wg005 Client-Konfiguration
AllowedIPs of 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0 routes all traffic through the tunnel. Narrow it for split tunnelling.
