# Wireguard This is a simple docker image to run a wireguard client. It includes a killswitch to ensure that any traffic not encrypted via wireguard is dropped. Wireguard is implemented as a kernel module, which is key to its performance and simplicity. However, this means that Wireguard _must_ be installed on the host operating system for this container to work properly. Instructions for installing Wireguard can be found [here](http://wireguard.com/install). You will need a configuration file for your Wireguard interface. Many VPN providers will create this configuration file for you. For example, [here](http://mullvad.net/en/download/wireguard-config) is the configuration generator for Mullvad. Be sure to NOT include a killswitch in the configuration file, since the docker image already has one. Now simply mount the configuration file and run! For example, if your configuration file is located at `/path/to/conf/mullvad.conf`: ```bash docker run --name wireguard \ --privileged \ -v /path/to/conf/mullvad.conf:/etc/wireguard/mullvad.conf \ jordanpotter/wireguard ``` Afterwards, you can link other containers to this one: ```bash docker run -it --rm \ --net=container:wireguard \ appropriate/curl http://httpbin.org/ip ```
