Getting Started

1) Once the application is installed, download the Connection profile using an FTP/SCP software like WinSCP for Windows or CyberDuck for macOS

2) Login to your server, and download the connection profile (example.conf) from the root directory.

Host name: {your-server-ip}
User name: root
Password: {your-server-root-password}

Replace {your-server-ip} with your server's IP address and {your-server-root-password} with your server's root password



3) Afterwards, you can go ahead and install it on your computer to tunnel your connection through your new VPN.



Each device that you use should have it's own user on the VPN server to run reliably. Run the following command on your server through a SSH client like PuTTY for Windows or Terminal on macOS to add more users or remove some of them.

bash wireguard-install.sh
