Unifi Security Gateway offers PPTP and L2TP VPN servers out of the box but there are better alternatives available like <a href="https://www.wireguard.com/">WireGuard</a> and OpenVPN. As with everything I wanted to learn new stuff so I chose WireGuard for this task. &ldquo;WireGuard is an extremely simple yet fast and modern VPN&rdquo; that &ldquo;aims to be as easy to configure and deploy as SSH.&rdquo; A VPN connection is made simply by exchanging very simple public keys — exactly like exchanging SSH keys — and all the rest is transparently handled by WireGuard. Unfortunately the information on how to get WireGuard up &amp; running and make the installation persistent after USG upgrades could not be found from one single place. This is why I decided to gather the data under this one post.</p>
