# WireGuard Complete Removal Guide
|
|
|
|
When WireGuard is no longer needed (e.g., switched to Clash/Mihomo proxy), remove it completely to prevent it from intercepting traffic on reboot.
|
|
|
|
## Step-by-step removal
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 1. Stop the interface immediately
|
|
sudo wg-quick down wg0
|
|
|
|
# 2. Disable the systemd service (prevents auto-start on boot)
|
|
sudo systemctl disable wg-quick@wg0
|
|
|
|
# 3. Verify no WireGuard interfaces remain
|
|
ip addr show wg0 2>/dev/null || echo "wg0 removed"
|
|
sudo wg show # should show nothing
|
|
|
|
# 4. Verify routing table is clean (no wg0 routes)
|
|
ip route show | grep wg0 # should show nothing
|
|
|
|
# 5. Test connectivity
|
|
ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## If you want to fully uninstall WireGuard
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Ubuntu/Debian
|
|
sudo apt remove wireguard wireguard-tools
|
|
|
|
# Remove config files
|
|
sudo rm -rf /etc/wireguard/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Pitfalls
|
|
|
|
- **`wg-quick down` alone is NOT enough** — the systemd service will restart wg0 on next boot. Always `systemctl disable` as well.
|
|
- **Check routing after removal** — WireGuard may have added custom routes or iptables rules. Verify with `ip route show` and `sudo iptables -L -n`.
|
|
- **DNS leaks** — WireGuard may have modified `/etc/resolv.conf`. Check and restore if needed.
|
|
- **Clash/Mihomo coexistence** — If switching from WireGuard to Clash, ensure WireGuard is fully stopped BEFORE starting Clash to avoid route conflicts.
