In today's digital age, internet freedom is crucial. Unfortunately, some popular social media platforms like Instagram are blocked in certain regions. But worry not! With a Virtual Private Server (VPS) from EcoStack Cloud, you can easily set up a Wireguard VPN and regain access to your favorite websites. For just 3.90 euros, you can enjoy unrestricted internet access.

Follow this simple guide to install and configure Wireguard VPN on Ubuntu 22.04.

Step 1: Get Your VPS from EcoStack Cloud

Before we start, you'll need a VPS. Head over to EcoStack Cloud and choose a VPS plan that suits your needs. With EcoStack Cloud, you're guaranteed high performance, reliability, and affordability.

Step 2: Update Your System

First, make sure your system is up to date. Connect to your VPS via SSH and run the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 3: Install Wireguard

Next, we’ll install Wireguard. Wireguard is a fast and modern VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography. To install it, run:

sudo apt install wireguard -y

Step 4: Generate Keys

Wireguard uses public and private keys for authentication. Generate these keys by executing:

wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey

You'll need both the private and public keys later. You can view them with:

cat privatekey
cat publickey

Step 5: Configure Wireguard

Create a new configuration file for Wireguard. Open a new file with your preferred text editor, for example:

sudo nano /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf

Add the following content to this file, replacing <YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY> with the private key you generated earlier and setting the appropriate network values:

[Interface]
PrivateKey = <YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY>
Address = 10.0.0.1/24
ListenPort = 51820

[Peer]
PublicKey = <CLIENT_PUBLIC_KEY>
AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.2/32

Step 6: Start Wireguard

To start Wireguard and enable it to run on boot, execute:

sudo systemctl start wg-quick@wg0
sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0

Step 7: Configure the Client

To connect your client device to the VPN, you'll need to install Wireguard on your client device and configure it. For example, on an Ubuntu client, you would:

sudo apt install wireguard -y

Create a configuration file on your client device, for example:

sudo nano /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf

Add the following content, replacing <CLIENT_PRIVATE_KEY>, <SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY>, and <SERVER_IP> with your actual keys and server IP address:

[Interface]
PrivateKey = <CLIENT_PRIVATE_KEY>
Address = 10.0.0.2/24

[Peer]
PublicKey = <SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY>
Endpoint = <SERVER_IP>:51820
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0

Start the Wireguard service on your client:

sudo wg-quick up wg0

Enjoy Unrestricted Internet

You should now have a fully functioning VPN! With your Wireguard VPN set up, you can access Instagram and other blocked websites freely and securely.
