A script to spin up a Wireguard VPN server with Unbound recursive DNS in a hurry

wg_install.sh

#!/bin/bash
# This file is designed to spin up a Wireguard VPN quickly and easily, 
# including configuring a recursive local DNS server using Unbound
#
# Make sure to change the public/private keys before running the script
# Also change the IPs, IP ranges, and listening port if desired
# iptables-persistent currently requires user input

# add wireguard repo
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wireguard/wireguard -y

# update/upgrade server and refresh repo
sudo apt update -y && apt upgrade -y

# install wireguard
sudo apt install wireguard -y

# create Wireguard interface config
