wg-info

Better wireguard status script

This script allows you to actually know, which peer in the wg show output is which by assigning them a name. Also you can see, which peers are actually online as wg-info will ping them and set the color (red/green) accordingly. To save time, this is done for all the peers in parallel.

The output is colored (if writing to a tty or explicitly requested) using terminal sequences, HTML or be just plain text.

Usage

wg-info [PARAMS]

Possible parameters:

• tty: Force terminal colors even when writing to a pipe
• html: Use HTML for coloring (useful for building a VPN status page)
• ping: Ping the peers and set the their color accordingly

Config

For each interface, wg-info expects the configuration in /etc/wireguard/[INTERFACE].conf. The config is the normal wg-quick syntax. The name is added as a comment as wg-quick doesn't like surplus config entries. The first IP address in the AllowedIPs will be used to ping the host.

[Peer]
# Name = The very secret node in antarctica
PublicKey = [...]
PresharedKey = [...]
AllowedIPs = 10.127.3.131/32, fdf3:3::131/128
