About WireGuard

WireGuard* is a next generation, highly efficient and secure VPN technology that is now incorporated into Linux, but also available for nearly every platform.   Telco Cloud Management System is moving toward WireGuard as the default Management VPN technology due to a smaller footprint on the device, leaving more resources for you and your users.  Read more about WireGuard in TelcOS Melaleuca.

 

How to Migrate Your Devices

The migration path is simple -

  2. Set the management VPN interface to the new WireGuard interface by sending using this command to your device:
    • uci set openwisp.http.management_interface='wg0' && uci commit openwisp 
  3. Optionally remove the Management VPN (OpenVPN) template from your devices.
