In this tutorial, we will show you how to set up WireGuard VPN on iOS but first let’s see what are our requirements and recommendations.
Important
1. You will need an active vpn package. If you don’t have one try our VPN for free
2. The WireGuard app. You can install it from App Store.
Generate the Wireguard configuration
- Now you need to access Wireguard tab in your package details. Sign in to your Client Area. Then go to Packages (1) and select your active package (2).
- Once you have accessed your package details click on Wireguard tab
- Select the VPN server you want to connect to.
You will get the Wireguard configuration and the QR code for the selected server.
Important! Keep the PrivateKey a closely guarded secret, do not share it with anyone and do not post it on the Internet. This is your personal key, similar to your private username & password on HideIPVPN.
