Set up on iPhone and iPad

The quickest way to set up a phone is to scan your tunnel's QR code. You'll need a tunnel in your Ghostunnel account — create one on a computer so you can scan the code from its screen.

1. Install WireGuard

Install WireGuard from the App Store. It's also linked from Downloads.

2. Scan the QR code

1. On your computer, create a tunnel. Its QR code appears right away, under Scan with your phone.
2. In the WireGuard app, tap + (or Add a tunnel) and choose Create from QR code.
3. Scan the code and give the tunnel a name, such as the location.
4. Allow iOS to add the VPN configuration when asked.

The configuration is shown once, right after you create the tunnel — we don't keep its private key. Already left that page? Open the tunnel from Tunnels and select Get a new configuration.

3. Connect

Turn on the switch next to the tunnel in WireGuard. A VPN indicator appears in the status bar while you're connected. Turn the switch off to disconnect.

No computer handy?

You can also do it all on the iPhone: create the tunnel there, select Download .conf on the page that follows, then open the file and share it to WireGuard.

Keep the QR code private — anyone who scans it can use your tunnel. See Your keys.
