# Rust Implementation of WireGuard
## Usage
Most Linux kernel WireGuard users are used to adding an interface with `ip link add wg0 type wireguard`.
With wireguard-rs, instead simply run:
$ wireguard-rs wg0
This will create an interface and fork into the background. To remove the interface, use the usual `ip link del wg0`,
or if your system does not support removing interfaces directly, you may instead remove the control socket via
`rm -f /var/run/wireguard/wg0.sock`, which will result in wireguard-rs shutting down.
When an interface is running, you may use `wg(8)` to configure it, as well as the usual `ip(8)` and `ifconfig(8)` commands.
## Platforms
### Linux
This will run on Linux;
however YOU SHOULD NOT RUN THIS ON LINUX. Instead use the kernel module; see the installation page for instructions.
### Windows
Coming soon.
### FreeBSD
Coming soon.
### OpenBSD
Coming soon.
# Building
The wireguard-rs project is targeting the current nightly.
To build this project obtain nightly `cargo` and `rustc` through [rustup](https://rustup.rs/), then simply run:
cargo build --release
To compile wireguard-rs to your current platform.
