Wireguard Wiki Example wrong

Bugs

The wiki example on Wireguard is incorrect. The “pubkey” is suggested to be used as the peer name. And there are some random configuration lines after the configuration block.

I tried to edit it to the following from this link, but it says something about “Contains Contacts. This is probably spam”.

=== An example of setting up a connection between a client and server. ===

We need to create an interface for Wireguard, in this example we call it wg01.
Notice that in the example the 'persistent-keepalive' parameter is set (the value is in seconds) and it is optional.

'''On server:'''

<pre>
  vyos@vyos# configure
  vyos@vyos# set interfaces wireguard wg01 address '10.1.0.1/24'
  vyos@vyos# set interfaces wireguard wg01 port '12345'
  vyos@vyos# set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer CLIENT1 allowed-ips '10.0.0.0/24'
  vyos@vyos# set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer CLIENT1 persistent-keepalive 15
  vyos@vyos# set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer CLIENT1 pubkey '<pubkey client1>'
  vyos@vyos# set protocols static interface-route '10.0.0.0/24' next-hop-interface wg01
  vyos@vyos# commit
  vyos@vyos# save
</pre>

'''On client 1:'''

<pre>
  vyos@vyos# configure
  vyos@vyos# set interfaces wireguard wg01 address '10.0.0.1/24'
  vyos@vyos# set interfaces wireguard wg01 port '12345'
  vyos@vyos# set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer SERVER allowed-ips '10.1.0.0/24'
  vyos@vyos# set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer SERVER endpoint '192.168.0.115:12345'
  vyos@vyos# set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer SERVER persistent-keepalive 15
  vyos@vyos# set interfaces wireguard wg01 peer SERVER pubkey '<pubkey server>'
  vyos@vyos# set protocols static interface-route '10.1.0.0/24' next-hop-interface wg01
  vyos@vyos# commit
  vyos@vyos# save
</pre>

Looks like the error went away after a few days. I was able to update the entry.
