TeamViewer – to be or not to be

ready-made script from GitHub. But if you are really concerned about the security of your data, then you can go ahead and configure everything manually. If you are more comfortable setting up a Wireguard server on a Windows machine, then you can use my toolkit described in a post a year ago. Most importantly, do not forget to open and map out the UDP port of your server.

By now, you should have a configured Wireguard server and at least one client configuration that looks something like this:

[Interface]
PrivateKey = AD9GaupPbRlfjPTfhLm1/lm5qtgwvFcB1rGpKOZkXXE=
Address = 10.66.66.2/32, fd42:42:42::2/128
DNS = 94.140.14.14, 94.140.15.15
MTU = 1420

[Peer]
PublicKey = tRb3/FxzJBhinaVPY/tyoX40PS7EY1mmzFyrL/dAnwY=
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0
Endpoint = ora.sshvpn.me:51820

4. Download and install Wiresock VPN Client. All quality claims can be sent directly to me. I wrote it myself, I use it all the time.

5. Adding to the client configuration file AllowedApps = teamviewer. The configuration file can be put next to the folder with the Wiresock VPN Client binaries (C:\Program Files\WireSock VPN Client\bin) so that you do not need to prescribe the full path to it.

[Interface]
PrivateKey = AD9GaupPbRlfjPTfhLm1/lm5qtgwvFcB1rGpKOZkXXE=
Address = 10.66.66.2/32, fd42:42:42::2/128
DNS = 94.140.14.14, 94.140.15.15
MTU = 1420

[Peer]
PublicKey = tRb3/FxzJBhinaVPY/tyoX40PS7EY1mmzFyrL/dAnwY=
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0
Endpoint = ora.sshvpn.me:51820
AllowedApps = teamviewer

6. Install Wiresock VPN Client as a service and run it. If you have a configuration file in the service folder, then as config_full_path_name is sufficient to use only the name of the client configuration file. Run cmd as Administrator and do the following:

wiresock-client.exe install -start-type 2 -config [config_full_path_name] -log-level none
sc start wiresock-client-service

Now TeamViewer, and only he, will walk through the Wireguard tunnel. I still usually add one of the browsers separated by commas. If there are any problems, then stop the service and run wiresock-client.exe in application mode with a log (see below). Usually it is immediately clear what went wrong, but if not, then write – I will help.

sc stop wiresock-client-service
wiresock-client.exe run -config [config_full_path_name] -log-level all
