Connected by Droplet to a wireguard VPN and now I can't ssh back into it

Posted on February 19, 2020

Hello! I recently installed and configured wireguard on my Toronto-based droplet. I went to start wireguard using this command:

wg-quick up [configuration-file]

It connected successfully but my SSH connection to my droplet terminated and now I can’t connect back into my droplet using the IP provided to me. How can I both enable wireguard on my droplet while still being able to connect to it via SSH?

Thanks!
