Configuring WireGuard and IPFS for Peer Connectivity

I have successfully set up a WireGuard connection between two PCs and can ping between them. However, I am facing an issue where the other PC does not appear as a swarm peer on IPFS. I suspect that there might be some necessary configuration changes required. Specifically, I am unsure if I need to modify the WireGuard settings, IPFS config settings, or the firewall settings on my WiFi router. Should I make any specific changes to the router settings or config files? Is it advisable to disable the router's firewall? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

To add other nodes for peering with your local WireGuard address, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the configuration file of your WireGuard setup. This file is typically located in the /etc/wireguard/ directory.

  2. Locate the section in the configuration file where you define the peers. This section will contain information about the peers you are currently peering with.

  3. Add a new entry for each node you want to peer with. Each entry should include the following information:

    • PublicKey: The public key of the node you want to peer with. This key is typically generated when setting up WireGuard on the remote node.
    • AllowedIPs: The IP range that you want to allow traffic from the peer. This can be a specific IP address or a range of IP addresses.
    • Endpoint: The IP address and port number of the remote node. This is the address that your node will use to establish a connection with the peer.

    Here's an example of how a peer entry might look like in the configuration file:

    [Peer]
    PublicKey = <public_key>
    AllowedIPs = <ip_range>
    Endpoint = <ip_address>:<port_number>
    
  4. Save the configuration file and exit.

  5. Restart the WireGuard service to apply the changes. You can do this by running the following command:

    sudo systemctl restart wg-quick@<interface_name>
    

    Replace <interface_name> with the name of the WireGuard interface you are using.

By adding these entries to your WireGuard configuration file, you will be able to establish peering connections with the specified nodes using your local WireGuard address. For more information, you can refer to the official documentation.
