The quickest way on a phone is to scan the QR code on your dashboard. You will need this page open on your phone and your dashboard open on a computer.

The pictures below are diagrams rather than photographs of a real screen, so your version of the app may look a little different. The names in quotes are what matters — those are exact.
-
1 Install WireGuard
Open the Play Store, search for WireGuard and install it. The developer should be listed as “WireGuard Development Team”.
-
2 Open your dashboard on a computer
Open “My VPN” on a computer (with your recovery code, if it is not the one you bought on) and choose “Show QR code for my phone”. If you only have a phone, download the file instead and use “Import from file” in step 3.
-
3 Scan the code
In the WireGuard app tap the + button, then “Scan from QR code”. Point the camera at your screen. Give the tunnel any name you like when prompted.
-
4 Connect
Tap the switch next to your new tunnel. Android asks to allow a VPN connection — tap “OK”. A key icon appears in the status bar while you are connected.
How do I know it is working?
Open a browser and search for “what is my IP”. The address shown should be different from the one you saw before connecting. If it has not changed, the tunnel is not active.
Disconnecting
Open WireGuard and tap the switch again to turn it off.
