What you need

  • A 44Net Portal account
  • A verified amateur radio callsign
  • A machine running OPNsense
  • Some sort of Internet access

If you haven't set up your Portal account or verified your callsign yet, see 44Net: Get Started for instructions. If you haven't obtained a WireGuard tunnel configuration file from 44Net Connect, get one using the the 44Net Connect quick start guide

Unlike the other Quick Start guides, we aren't starting with a configuration file from 44Net Connect. Instead, we will be creating one during the course of this tutorial.

Create a WireGuard instance

Navigate to VPN > WireGuard > Instances in your OPNsense web GUI and create a new instance. Click the gear button to generate a public key/private key keypair.
