Install & autostart Wireguard config on Ubuntu or Debian

We will assume that you already have a wireguard config file, e.g. MyVPN.conf

Copy MyVPN.conf to /etc/wireguard/MyVPN.conf:

sudo cp MyVPN.conf /etc/wireguard/MyVPN.conf

Start & enable (i.e. autostart) service:

sudo systemctl enable --now wg-quick@MyVPN

Check if it works using

sudo wg show

Example wg-show output
