Usage

mozwire relay save to generate a WireGuard configuration. --help to get help on a subcommand, e.g. mozwire relay --help, mozwire relay save --help.

Examples

Output configuration for all servers into the /etc/wireguard directory.

mozwire relay save -o /etc/wireguard -n 0

Use MOZ_TOKEN to "cache" the token instead of specifying it each time with --token or log in each time.

export MOZ_TOKEN=$(mozwire --print-token) # save the token in the MOZ_TOKEN environment variable
mozwire .... # mozwire commands can be run without having to log in

USAGE:
    mozwire [OPTIONS] [SUBCOMMAND]

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help             Print help information
        --no-browser       By default, mozwire will open the login page in a browser,
                           this option prevents mozwire a browser page from being opened
        --print-token      Print the token used to query the Mozilla API, so that it can
                           be reused with --token, without having to # each time
        --token <TOKEN>    The token used to communicate with the Mozilla API. If
                           unspecified, a web page will be opened to retrieve the token.
                           the MOZ_TOKEN environment variable can also be used instead
                           [env: MOZ_TOKEN=]
    -V, --version          Print version information

SUBCOMMANDS:
    device    Add, remove and list devices. To connect to MozillaVPN, a device needs
                  to be on the list
    help      Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
    relay     List available relays (VPN Servers) and save WireGuard configurations
                  for these

To query MozillaVPN, mozwire requires a token, specified with --token. If it is left
unspecified, mozwire will generate a token by opening a login page, the token generated
can be printed using --print-token, so that it can be reused. To generate a WireGuard
configuration use `mozwire relay save`.
