The WireGuard generator is only available for Premium customers. Freemium users can use Wireguard only through the PrivadoVPN app

Important: Premium account supports up to 10 connections. As a result, downloading more than 10 configuration files will deactivate older configurations, downloaded before these 10.

 

1. Open the system terminal and install Wireguard:

The commands for the most popular Linux distributions are provided below:

Ubuntu/Debian/Mint/Kali:

sudo apt install wireguard

Fedora:

sudo dnf install wireguard-tools

Arch:

sudo pacman -S wireguard-tools

OpenSUSE/SLE:

sudo zypper install wireguard-tools

2. Generate and download a Wireguard configuration file.

3. Naviage to the 'Downloads' folder and move the Wireguard config to '/etc/wireguard': 

cd ~/Downloads

 

sudo mv <config_file_name> /etc/wireguard

for example: sudo mv privado.ist-009.conf /etc/wireguard

4. Activate the Wireguard connection (when starting the connection, you must specify only the name of the configuration file, without '.conf'):

sudo wg-quick up <config_file_name>

for example: sudo wg-quick up privado.ist-009

5. Once the connection has been successfully established you can go to our website and check the IP and its location at the top of the page. 

You can also check the status of the connection by running the following command: 

sudo wg show

 

6. To stop the connection, run:

sudo wg-quick down <config_file_name>

for example: sudo wg-quick down privado.ist-009
