You must update the top variables with information relevant to your configuration. If you run it once with the variables updated, it will output information you can use to do the initial setup of your VPN client.
It depends on jq and curl
In my own setup, I combined the script with watchcat. Every time the internet goes down or on boot, watchcat will run the script and bring up the VPN again.
It's not the prettiest, but it works. It could be refined if there's interest.
For context, what problem does this solve? Does PIA's wireguard not play well with OpenWRTs standard runtime network luci/config wireguard proto packages? I'm using it for an always-on connection in a containerized instance of OpenWRT (wg kernel module in the host of course) to a different provider and it's pretty robust right out of the box; starts on boot, recovers from WAN outages, etc.
In order to get the connection details to initiate a connection, you need to send some web requests. These values expire after a period as far as I'm aware.
How does your current provider manage this? Do you get the same static public key etc for their server?
Yes, their setup uses all static values in the client configuration, generated for you on request. (I'm fairly new to wireguard, I may not be familiar with whether/why this isn't ideal.)
They don't. I think the token expires after 24 hours so you would need a new one if you wanted to request new details, but as long as the connection remains up (even small interruptions such as restarting the router are fine) there's no need to renew anything.
Having said that, PIA have previously said their servers are routinely restarted every few months during maintenance windows so all existing connections would be closed and a renew of token/connection details would be required.
I am stuggling so much with this, If you could give me detailed instructions on what to do with this to get my router working with pia wireguard it would really mean alot
I only have OpenVPN installed. Not used ssh before. OpenVPN works but just gets around 15mb connection. How do I find my pia Wireguard user,pass,pub/private keys?
