== Proxy server setup ==

~~Same~~ as peer setup, ~~skip~~ the ~~endpoint~~ option, ~~with~~ the following

To route your internet traffic through the server, first check the name of your active network interface. This can be done through running this command:

~~addition~~:

<pre>

ip route get 9.9.9.9

</pre>

and the result should be something similar to:

<pre>

9.9.9.9 via 192.168.1.1 dev enp2s0 src 192.168.1.35 uid 0

</pre>

The item after <code>dev</code> is your active interface, in this case <code>enp2s0</code>.

After that, set up WireGuard the same way as the [[#Peer_setup|peer setup]], except do not include the <code>Endpoint</code> option. Then, add the following options to your configuration, using the active network interface you previously found for <code>externalInterface</code>:

Line 218:

enable = true;

enableIPv6 = true;

externalInterface = "~~ens6~~";

externalInterface = "enp2s0";

internalInterfaces = [ "wg0" ];

};

If you have WireGuard configuration files that you want to use as-is

If you have WireGuard configuration files that you want to use as-is (similarly how you would configure WireGuard e.g. in [https://wiki.debian.org/WireGuard#Step_2_-_Configuration Debian]), without converting them to a declarative NixOS configuration, you can also configure <code>wg-quick</code> to use them. For example, if you have a configuration file <code>/etc/nixos/wireguard/wg0.conf</code>, add the following line to your <code>configuration.nix</code>:
