WireGuard guide
WireGuard is a new VPN protocol, way faster and simpler than OpenVPN, without sacrificing security.
You can't use WireGuard if your ISP blocks UDP.
Please follow these steps to use the WireGuard VPN:
Create a key
You need a different key for each device. Skip this step if you already have an unused key.
To create a new key, go to My account > Services: VPN > WireGuard then click on “Create new WireGuard key”.
Download a configuration file
Go to My account > Services: VPN > WireGuard then click on “Configuration file”. Choose “automatic”, unless you have specific reasons to force a protocol.
Do not share your configuration file. It contains your private key.
Install WireGuard
Import the configuration file into WireGuard
- Windows: Click on the WireGuard icon in the notification area, then click on “Add Tunnel”.
- macOS: Click on the WireGuard icon in the system tray, then “Import tunnel(s) from file…”.
