Create a QR code for a WireGuard configuration using a Go program

In this tutorial, we will create a Go program that can generate a QR code for a WireGuard configuration. This can be useful for sharing your WireGuard configuration with others or for quickly connecting to a WireGuard VPN.

Create a Go program

To create a Go program that can generate a QR code for a WireGuard configuration, we will use the following libraries:

• github.com/bwmarrin/wgpdf
• github.com/skip2/go-qrcode

To install these libraries, run the following commands:

 go get github.com/bwmarrin/wgpdf
go get github.com/skip2/go-qrcode 

Once the libraries are installed, we can create a new Go program. The following code shows a simple example of a Go program that can generate a QR code for a WireGuard configuration:

 import (
    "fmt"
    "image/png"
    "os"

    qrcode "github.com/skip2/go-qrcode"
    "github.com/bwmarrin/wgpdf"
)

func main() 
    // Create a new WireGuard configuration
    wg := wgpdf.NewWireGuardConfig()

 

wg.PrivateKey = “YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY” wg.PublicKey = “YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY” wg.Endpoint = “YOUR_ENDPOINT” // Generate a QR code for the WireGuard configuration qr, err := qrcode.New(wg.Encode(), qrcode.Medium)

 

if err != nil fmt.Println(err) os.Exit(1) // Save the QR code to a file f, err := os.Create(“qr.png”)

 

if err != nil fmt.Println(err) os.Exit(1) defer f.Close() png.Encode(f, qr.Image())

 

 

To use the program, you can run the following command:

 go run main.go 

This will generate a QR code for the WireGuard configuration and save it to a file named “qr.png”. You can then scan the QR code with a QR code reader to connect to the WireGuard VPN.

Examples

The following are some examples of how you can use the Go program to generate QR codes for different WireGuard configurations:

• To generate a QR code for a WireGuard configuration that uses a specific IP address, you can use the following command:

   go run main.go
  --endpoint=YOUR_IP_ADDRESS

Create a QR code for a WireGuard configuration using a Rust program

A QR code can be generated for a WireGuard configuration using a Rust program. This can be useful for quickly and easily sharing WireGuard configurations with others.

To create a QR code for a WireGuard configuration using a Rust program, you can use the `qrcode` crate. This crate provides a simple and easy-to-use API for generating QR codes.

To use the `qrcode` crate, you can add the following to your Cargo.toml file:

“` [dependencies] qrcode = “0.12” “`

Once you have added the `qrcode` crate to your project, you can use the following code to generate a QR code for a WireGuard configuration:

“` use qrcode::QrCode;

fn main() let config = “[Interface] PrivateKey = /path/to/private.key Address = 10.0.0.1/24 ListenPort = 51820

[Peer] PublicKey = /path/to/public.key AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.2/32”;

let qr = QrCode::new(config).unwrap();

let image = qr.as_image(128, 128);

image.save(“qr.png”).unwrap();

“`

This code will generate a QR code for the WireGuard configuration specified in the `config` variable. The QR code will be saved to the file `qr.png`.

You can then scan the QR code using a QR code reader app on your phone to connect to the WireGuard VPN.

Create a QR code for a WireGuard configuration using a C program

The `wg-qr` tool is a C program that can be used to generate a QR code for a WireGuard configuration. It is available on GitHub at https://github.com/WireGuard/wg-qr.

To use the `wg-qr` tool, you will need to have a WireGuard configuration file. This file can be created using the `wg` command-line tool. Once you have a WireGuard configuration file, you can use the `wg-qr` tool to generate a QR code for it.

The following is an example of how to use the `wg-qr` tool to generate a QR code for a WireGuard configuration file:

“` $ wg-qr “`

This will generate a QR code for the WireGuard configuration file specified by ` `. The QR code will be displayed in the terminal window. You can use a QR code reader to scan the QR code and connect to the WireGuard VPN.

The `wg-qr` tool can also be used to generate a QR code for a WireGuard configuration string. The following is an example of how to use the `wg-qr` tool to generate a QR code for a WireGuard configuration string:

“` $ wg-qr -s “`

This will generate a QR code for the WireGuard configuration string specified by ` `. The QR code will be displayed in the terminal window. You can use a QR code reader to scan the QR code and connect to the WireGuard VPN.

Create a QR code for a WireGuard configuration using a C++ program

WireGuard is a modern VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography and is designed with simplicity, speed, and security in mind. To make it easier to connect to a WireGuard VPN, you can generate a QR code that contains all the necessary configuration information.

This allows you to quickly and easily connect to the VPN by simply scanning the QR code with your mobile device.

There are several ways to generate a QR code for a WireGuard configuration, including using a C++ program. Here’s how to do it:

Creating a C++ program to generate a QR code for a WireGuard configuration

To create a C++ program to generate a QR code for a WireGuard configuration, you can use a library such as libqrencode. Here’s an example program that you can use:

“`cpp #include #include

int main() // Create a QR code generator object QRcode -qr = QRcode_encodeString(“wg0:10.0.0.1/[email protected]:51820”, 0, QR_ECLEVEL_L, QR_MODE_NUL, 1);

// Print the QR code to the console for (int y = 0; y < qr-> width; y++) for (int x = 0; x < qr-> width; x++) std::cout << (qr-> data[y – qr->width + x] & 0x01) ? “██” : ” “;

std::cout << std::endl;

// Free the QR code generator object
QRcode_free(qr);

return 0;

“`

This program will generate a QR code for the following WireGuard configuration:

“`
[Interface] PrivateKey = …
Address = 10.0.0.1/24
DNS = 192.168.1.1

[Peer] PublicKey = …
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
Endpoint

= 192.168.1.1:51820
“`

You can replace the values in the configuration with your own values.

Using the C++ program to generate QR codes for different WireGuard configurations

To use the C++ program to generate QR codes for different WireGuard configurations, simply change the values in the configuration string.

For example, to generate a QR code for the following configuration:

“` [Interface] PrivateKey = … Address = 10.0.0.2/24 DNS = 192.168.1.2

[Peer] PublicKey = … AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0 Endpoint = 192.168.1.2:51820 “`

You would use the following command:

“` ./qrcodegen “wg0:10.0.0.2/[email protected]:51820” “`

This would generate a QR code for the new configuration.
