== Initial Setup ==

The [https://www.wireguard.com/install/ official WireGuard client] is a good place to start, but most any client will likely work just fine. They support Windows, macOS, several Linux distros, iOS, and Android.

=== macOS ===

# Download: Open the Mac App Store and search for "WireGuard" and install it.
# Configuration: Obtain a WireGuard configuration file (.conf) from [[User:Mtfurlan | Mara]] or [[User:Ivy | Ivy]].
# Import: Launch the WireGuard app, click "Import tunnel(s) from file", select your .conf file, and click "Allow" to import it.
# Activate: Click the "Activate" button to start the VPN connection.

=== Linux ===

The official WireGuard client for Linux does not have a standalone GUI, instead it functions as a network extension and can be managed through your desktop manager. Well, except for the initial import it seems, which is broken at the time of writing. To import your config from the command line, run:

<pre>
# rename to wg0.conf or wgi3.conf
nmcli connection import type wireguard file wg0.conf
</pre>

Further configuration is available under Settings > Network > VPN.
