WireGuard for Windows
If you've come here looking to simply run WireGuard for Windows, you may download it here.
This is a fully-featured WireGuard client for Windows that uses Wintun.
Windows 10 64-bit or Windows Server 2019, and Git for Windows is required. The build script will take care of downloading, verifying, and extracting the right versions of the various dependencies:
C:\Projects> git clone https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-windows
C:\Projects> cd wireguard-windows
C:\Projects\wireguard-windows> build
After you've built the application, run amd64\wireguard.exe
or x86\wireguard.exe
to install the manager service and show the UI.
C:\Projects\wireguard-windows> amd64\wireguard.exe
Since WireGuard requires the Wintun driver to be installed, and this generally requires a valid Microsoft signature, you may benefit from first installing a release of WireGuard for Windows from the official wireguard.com builds, which bundles a Microsoft-signed Wintun, and then subsequently run your own wireguard.exe. Alternatively, you can craft your own installer using the quickinstall.bat
script.
The installer build script will take care of downloading, verifying, and extracting the right versions of the various dependencies:
C:\Projects\wireguard-windows> cd installer
C:\Projects\wireguard-windows\installer> build
Add a file called sign.bat
in the root of this repository with these contents, or similar:
set SigningCertificate=DF98E075A012ED8C86FBCF14854B8F9555CB3D45
set TimestampServer=http://timestamp.digicert.com
After, run the above build
commands as usual, from a shell that has signtool.exe
in its PATH
, such as the Visual Studio 2017 command prompt.
You must first have Go ≥1.12, Mingw, and ImageMagick installed.
$ sudo apt install mingw-w64 golang-go
$ git clone https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-windows
$ cd wireguard-windows
$ make
You can deploy the 64-bit build to an SSH host specified by the DEPLOYMENT_HOST
environment variable (default "winvm") to the remote directory specified by the DEPLOYMENT_PATH
environment variable (default "Desktop") by using the deploy
target:
$ make deploy
