Usage

• Only the admin account is active for the time being.

• Email me or message me on LinkedIn if you want to try it.

• To save the config file or scan the QR code, on either the phone or computer, you need the Wireguard app because the VPN uses the Wireguard protocol.

  • Desktop: wireguard.com or for iPhone: AppStore

On Phone

• Demo in the YouTube video.

• Install the Wireguard app on your phone.

• Either download the config file or scan the QR code in the Wireguard app.

• Enable it in Wireguard and Settings and you're done!

On Mac

• It's much easier to use the Wireguard Desktop app, but you can follow these steps instead:

• Start WireGuard manually:

  wg-quick up wg-client

• Check status:

  sudo wg

• To stop it:

  wg-quick down wg-client
