Time Restriction

[ctv99]

Is there an option to Time Restrict Peer not just Date?

Such as Peer cannot Connect After 8pm But at 6Am they can Connect Again?

I think is better to add repeating job, like repeating restrict peer at 8pm everyday and unrestrict peer at 6am everyday?

Yes that would work but i don't see time as an option. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

Hi! Unfortunately the current version does not have this functionality. But.. we can use cron utility to schedule recurring jobs, by utilizing the WGDashboard API with curl :)

1. Get a WGDashboard API key: Settings > WGDashboard Settings > (Scroll down) > Enable API Key > Add a key and copy it
2. Create 2 shell script to restrict & allow access under WGDashboard/src/

I will use my private domain, you'll need to replace it with your server's IP or domain. Also replace the wg-dashboard-apikey with the api key you just created.

restrict.sh

curl --location 'wg.local:10086/api/restrictPeers/wg0' \
--header 'wg-dashboard-apikey: twkl03ZfNz3WMMjsxs1xGXDZ1ruMaN8_0YKmGcDXvFI' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "peers":[
        "Ee3BTE9vFAGgtKkI8d6xLe2wwFPRijnIzZ5bdrCc6Ek="
    ]
}'

allow.sh

curl --location 'wg.local:10086/api/allowAccessPeers/wg0' \
--header 'wg-dashboard-apikey: twkl03ZfNz3WMMjsxs1xGXDZ1ruMaN8_0YKmGcDXvFI' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "peers":[
        "Ee3BTE9vFAGgtKkI8d6xLe2wwFPRijnIzZ5bdrCc6Ek="
    ]
}'

Save them in a known location. You can do so by running pwd and you will see the path. In the example I will be using /root/WGDashboard/src

4. Create cron rules

sudo crontab -e

Then you might ask to choose an editor, nano is my preference so I will choose that.

Then, we will need to create 2 rules. But before that, you might want to know more about cron syntax: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/cron/

# ┌───────────── minute (0 - 59)
# │ ┌───────────── hour (0 - 23)
# │ │ ┌───────────── day of the month (1 - 31)
# │ │ │ ┌───────────── month (1 - 12)
# │ │ │ │ ┌───────────── day of the week (0 - 6) (Sunday to Saturday)
# │ │ │ │ │
# │ │ │ │ │
# │ │ │ │ │
# * * * * * <command to execute>

In your case it would be

0 8 * * * /root/WGDashboard/src/allow.sh
0 18 * * * /root/WGDashboard/src/restrict.sh

Which means, at 8:00 every day, it will run /root/WGDashboard/src/allow.sh. And at 18:00 it will run /root/WGDashboard/src/restrict.sh

Then save it. It will tells you whether your rules are successfully installed or not.

Let me know if you have any questions :)
