Wireguard Command Line Interface (CLI) Setup Guide for Raspberry Pi (Debian)

The following is required for setting a Wireguard connection on Raspberry Pi.

• A working installation of Debian 11 (Debian Bullseye)
• A PureVPN premium account (Don’t have one? Sign up now!)

• Firstly, you will need to install Wireguard packages and files. Type the following to install them:
  1. sudo bash
  2. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
  3. sudo apt-get install wireguard

• Now go to your Member’s Area and download the desired PureVPN Wireguard file. (WireGuard Configuration File will expire in 5 minutes after generation if not connected, after that you need to regenerate a new configuration.)

• Now create a Wireguard profile and copy/paste the content of the downloaded config. file there.

sudo nano /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf

• Press the Ctrl+O keys to save the contents of the file and then Ctrl+X to exit the file.
• Now run the following command to initiate the Wireguard connection.
