WireGuard (client) setup guide

You can only see and download the WireGuard setup guide below if you are logged in!

This guide covers the setup of a WireGuard client to a commercial WireGuard VPN Provider.

Set up of WireGuard as a server(i.e. for connecting to your home from outside) is covered here: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=322206 .

WireGuard is a BETA/WIP open-source VPN solution written in C by Jason Donenfeld and others, aiming to fix many of the problems that have plagued other modern server-to-server VPN offerings like IPSec/IKEv2, OpenVPN, or L2TP.
It can be seen as a replacement for OpenVPN although it does not have the versatility, possibilities and track record of OpenVPN.
However, it has two advantages over OpenVPN, it is much faster especially on lower-spec hardware such as Soho routers (my own R7800 goes from 90 Mb/s on OpenVPN to 240 Mb/s with Wireguard) and is easy to setup if you know how, but it is not yet mature and there are sometimes frustrating hiccups.

To work with this guide you need a DDWRT build of 43045 or higher (see: https://svn.dd-wrt.com/changeset/43029 )

I will try to keep the guide updated, but your help, remarks and recommendations are crucial in getting this done so please notify me of any errors or inconsistencies or other things which are noteworthy.
