WG Tunnel docs Help

Getting started

It is important to understand that WG Tunnel is a VPN client application and not a VPN service provider. In short, this means that this application does not provide a VPN server for users to connect to by default. It is expected that the user either is hosting their own VPN server, or they have a VPN service provider.

If you are new to using VPNs and do not yet have a VPN service provider or VPN server, one of the easiest ways to get started is with a free VPN service provider like ProtonVPN.

Steps for getting a WireGuard config:

  • Create a new account on ProtonVPN's site.

  • Follow their tutorial on how to export a WireGuard configuration file.

  • On the main screen of WG Tunnel, click the floating action button and select "Add from file or zip".

  • Navigate to your newly downloaded WireGuard .conf configuration file and select it.

You are now ready to start using WG Tunnel as your Android VPN client.
