 Since the EdgeRouter-X is not x86 hardware, AstLinux will not run on it.  The default EdgeRouter-X firmware is EdgeOS, documentation found here: [[https://www.ubnt.com/downloads/guides/edgemax/EdgeOS_UG.pdf|EdgeOS User Guide]].  The WireGuard VPN is currently available for EdgeOS as a third-party ''.deb'' package found here: [[https://github.com/Lochnair/vyatta-wireguard|vyatta-wireguard]].
-Alternatively, the [[https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/ubiquiti_edgerouter_x_er-x_ka|OpenWrt Project]] offers firmware specifically built for the EdgeRouter-X with impressive performance.  The current standard ''18.06.1'' release performs NAT routing at near 1 Gbps line speed, and WireGuard VPN performance at around 180 Mbps.  Quite reasonable for a 880 MHz CPU.

 It could be said that the EdgeRouter-X with OpenWrt and the WireGuard VPN in the kernel is an ideal solution for a remote VPN endpoint.  The rest of this documentation describes how to install the current release of OpenWrt ''18.06.1'' on a Ubiquiti Networks EdgeRouter-X (ER-X).
