WireGuard® is an extremely simple yet fast and modern VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography. It aims to be faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPsec, while avoiding the massive headache. It intends to be considerably more performant than OpenVPN. WireGuard is designed as a general purpose VPN for running on embedded interfaces and super computers alike, fit for many different circumstances. Initially released for the Linux kernel, it is now cross-platform (Windows, macOS, BSD, iOS, Android) and widely deployable. It is currently under heavy development, but already it might be regarded as the most secure, easiest to use, and simplest VPN solution in the industry.

Additional Settings & Options

Manual configuration settings on some routers

Setting up WireGuard® on some routers requires a small amount of manual configuration changes or settings to be entered. Most of the settings should already be completed after importing your configuration file, however, some may need a small tweak in order to function correctly. If you have any problems with the connection, try these settings.

1. If you have the option to set the MTU manually, please ensure its set to 1420, if your routing does not work on that settings you should try lowering it to 1400, 1350, etc.. until the routing works.

3. If you would like to use the Kill Switch, set this to ON.
4. If you are asked for an Endpoint Address, please enter your Dedicated IP account Server IP addres or DNS Address.
