Read-only status and peer list for a WireGuard server running on the same Windows machine as Hermes. Two tools: vpn_status (service state, tunnel address and port, server public key, per-peer handshake and transfer) and vpn_peers (the peer list only). The plugin runs only wg.exe show, sc.exe query, and one PowerShell adapter lookup; it never changes the tunnel and never reads the tunnel configuration file or any private key material. Windows only (WireGuard for Windows).

## Good to know before installing

Runs local wg.exe show, sc.exe query and one PowerShell Get-NetIPAddress lookup (read-only, never touches the tunnel config or private key); tool results put peer public keys, allowed IPs and peer endpoint IP addresses into the conversation sent to your model provider.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install wireguard
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable wireguard
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
