Which WireGuard client should I use?
Use the official WireGuard app for Unix when one is available. It supports the Cloud1VPN configuration format directly and receives client updates from the WireGuard project. Use a built-in or package-managed client only where this guide specifically recommends it.
Where do I download my WireGuard profile?
In My Servers, open the Cloud1VPN server you want to use and download its current WireGuard .conf file. Each download belongs to that server, so retrieve a new file after a server rebuild, relocation, or profile replacement.
How do I import the downloaded profile?
Use the installed WireGuard tools to activate the downloaded .conf file, following the command for your Unix platform in this guide. Keep the file exactly as downloaded; do not open, edit, or re-save it in a text editor before importing.
Should I use the .conf file or the QR code?
They contain the same private tunnel configuration. Use the file for file import and the QR code for a mobile device you are setting up from a separate trusted screen. Never share either format or store it in a shared photo album.
How do I configure the tunnel after import?
Use the profile settings supplied by Cloud1VPN without changing the endpoint, keys, DNS, or allowed IP ranges. Give the imported tunnel a recognizable name if the client permits it, then enable that tunnel as your only active VPN connection.
Can I reuse an older WireGuard profile?
Keep it only while the associated server and credentials are current. When Cloud1VPN gives you a replacement profile, remove the previous tunnel from the client and import the new download instead of editing individual fields by hand.
How do I confirm that setup worked?
Turn on the imported tunnel, wait for the client to show it is active, then open What's My IP?. A full-tunnel Cloud1VPN profile should show your Cloud1VPN server address.
