-#+title: Connecting to a Random Mullvad Wireguard Host
-#+date: 2023-01-23
-
-** Mullvad Wireguard
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: mullvad-wireguard
-:END:
-If you're using an OS that does not support one of Mullvad's apps,
-you're likely using the Wireguard configuration files instead.
-
-If not, the first step is to visit Mullvad's
-[[https://mullvad.net/en/account/#/wireguard-config][Wireguard
-configuration files]] page and download a ZIP of the configuration files
-you want to use.
-
-Personally, I downloaded all configuration files across the world and
-chose my connections using the script below.
-
-Once the files are downloaded, unzip them and move them to your
-preferred location:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-cd Downloads
-unzip mullvad_wireguard_linux_all_all.zip
-mkdir ~/mullvad && mv ~/Downloads/*.conf ~/mullvad/
-#+end_src
-
-** Creating a Script to Connect to a Random Host
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: creating-a-script-to-connect-to-a-random-host
-:END:
-Once you have a folder of Wireguard configuration files from Mullvad,
-you can create a script to randomly connect to any one of the locations.
-
-Start by creating a shell script - mine is called =vpn.sh=.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-nano ~/vpn.sh
-#+end_src
-
-Within this script, you can paste the following info. Note that I
-specify =us-*= in my script, which means that it will only consider
-US-based VPN locations. You can alter this or simply change it =*= to
-consider all locations.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-#!/bin/sh
-
-ls /home/$USER/mullvad/us-* |sort -R |tail -n 1 |while read file; do
- # Replace `doas` with `sudo` if your machine uses `sudo`,
- # or remove `doas` if users don't need to su to run wg-quick
- doas wg-quick up $file;
- printf "\nCreated Mullvad wireguard connection with file: $file";
- printf "\n\nPrinting new IP info:\n"
- curl https://am.i.mullvad.net/connected
-done
-#+end_src
-
-Once you've modified the script to your liking, add executable
-permissions and run the script:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-chmod +x ~/vpn.sh
-~/vpn.sh
-#+end_src
-
-The output should look like the following:
-
-#+begin_src txt
-doas (user@host) password:
-
-# ... The script will process all of the iptables and wg commands here
-
-Created Mullvad wireguard connection with file: /home/user/mullvad/us-nyc-wg-210.conf
-
-Printing new IP info:
-You are connected to Mullvad (server country-city-wg-num). Your IP address is 12.345.678.99
-#+end_src
-
-That's all there is to it. You can see your new location and IP via the
-=printf= and =curl= commands included in the script.
-
-You can also go to the [[https://mullvad.net/en/check/][Connection Check
-​| Mullvad]] page to see if you are fully connected to Mullvad and if any
-leaks exist.

-** Disconnecting from the Wireguard Connection
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: disconnecting-from-the-wireguard-connection
-:END:
-If you forget which connection you're using, you can execute the
-following command to see where Wireguard is currently connected:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-wg show
-#+end_src
-
-This command will show you the Wireguard interfaces and should output a
-connection like so: =interface: us-lax-wg-104=.
-
-Once you have this, just disconnect using that files' full path:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-wg-quick down /home/user/mullvad/us-lax-wg-104.conf
-#+end_src
-
-I have a TODO item on figuring out how to easily export an environment
-variable that contains the configuration file's full name, so that I can
-just execute the following:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-# Ideal situation if I can export the $file variable to the environment
-wg-quick down $file
-#+end_src
-
-If you have an idea on how to do this, email me!
