Get Ghostunnel

Set up on Windows

Install WireGuard for Windows, import your Ghostunnel configuration file and activate the tunnel.

You'll need Windows 10 or later and a tunnel in your Ghostunnel account. If you don't have one yet, create a tunnel first.

1. Install WireGuard

Download and install WireGuard for Windows from the official WireGuard site. It's also linked from Downloads.

2. Download your configuration

  1. Create a tunnel. Its configuration appears right away.
  2. Select Download .conf. The file is named after the tunnel (or its location), for example netherlands.conf.

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. Import and connect

  1. Open WireGuard and select Import tunnel(s) from file.
  2. Choose the .conf file you downloaded.
  3. Select Activate.

The status changes to active once you're connected. To disconnect, select Deactivate.

Tips

  • After importing, you can delete the downloaded file — WireGuard keeps its own copy. Don't share it: it contains your tunnel's private key.
  • If you create a new tunnel later (for example after switching location), import its new file and remove the old one from WireGuard.

Not connecting? See I can't connect.
