Status: Stable

Select Interface:
- Launch the armbian-config utility:
  Bash
  1
  sudo armbian-config
- Navigate to Network and choose the desired network interface (e.g., eth0 for wired or wlan0 for wireless).
Wireless Interface Configuration:
- If configuring a wireless interface:
  - A list of available Access Points (APs) will be displayed.
  - Select your preferred AP and enter the password when prompted. Leave the password field empty for open networks.
IP Address Configuration:
- Choose between:
  - DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): Automatically assigns an IP address.
  - Static IP: Manually enter details:
    - MAC Address (optional): Specify if you want spoofing MAC address.
    - IP Address: Use CIDR notation (e.g., 192.168.1.10/24).
    - Route: Default is 0.0.0.0/0.
    - Gateway: Typically the router’s IP, e.g., 192.168.1.1.
    - DNS: Default is 9.9.9.9, but can be changed.
Finalize Configuration:
- Review and confirm your settings.
- The system applies the configurations, and your network should be set up.

Wired device checkWireless device check

In order to configure your network devices, they need to be supported the kernel.

To verify, use command:

Bash
1	`ip addr`

It is usually something like eth0, enp4s3 or lan.

In order to configure your wireless network devices, they need to be supported the kernel.

To verify, use command:

Bash
iw dev | awk '$1=="Interface"{print $2}'

It is usually something like wlan0, wlo1 or wlx12334c47dec3. If you get blank response, it means your WiFi device / dongle is not supported by the kernel.

WireGuard VPN client / server¶

WireGuard is an extremely simple yet fast and modern VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography. It aims to be faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPsec, while avoiding the massive headache. It intends to be considerably more performant than OpenVPN. WireGuard is designed as a general purpose VPN for running on embedded interfaces and super computers alike, fit for many different circumstances. Initially released for the Linux kernel, it is now cross-platform (Windows, macOS, BSD, iOS, Android) and widely deployable. Regarded as the most secure, easiest to use, and simplest VPN solution in the industry.
