WireGuard (Any Platform)

If you’re on a platform where we don’t have a native app yet, or you just prefer WireGuard, you can generate a WireGuard config from your Obscura account and use it with any standard WireGuard client.

This works on Linux, routers, and any other platform that supports WireGuard.

We’re working on native apps for more platforms.

See our Using Obscura via WireGuard guide to get started.

Note

Each WireGuard config permanently reserves one of your 5 connection slots, even when the device isn’t connected. To free a slot, delete the config from your account. See Managing Your Devices for more details.
