Set up WireGuard safely

WireGuard creates a key pair on your own device. VPN Pink needs only the public key to reserve an IP address and activate your connection. Your private key never leaves your device.

Four steps to connect

1Install WireGuard

Install the official WireGuard app on the iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, macOS or Linux device you want to protect.

2Create a tunnel

Choose Add a tunnel, then Create from scratch or Create empty tunnel. The app creates one private key and one public key.

3Add the public key

Open My Dashboard → WireGuard, enter a device name, choose a VPN location and paste only the public key.

4Enter your details

After activation, open your device in the dashboard. VPN Pink displays the exact address, endpoint, server key, DNS and allowed IPs for that device.

Never share your private key. VPN Pink support will never ask for it. The public key is safe to add to your dashboard; it identifies the device on the VPN server.

What you enter in VPN Pink

  • A device name, for example “My iPhone”
  • Your preferred VPN location
  • The public key generated by your WireGuard app

One active paid VPN Pink account can have up to five different WireGuard devices. Each device requires its own public key and receives its own WireGuard IP address.

What you enter in the WireGuard app

Do this only after the device has been activated in VPN Pink. Open the same tunnel in WireGuard and use the exact values displayed below that device in your dashboard.

[Interface]
PrivateKey = <private key already stored in your WireGuard app>
Address = <address shown by VPN Pink>/32
DNS = <DNS shown by VPN Pink>

[Peer]
PublicKey = <server public key shown by VPN Pink>
Endpoint = <endpoint shown by VPN Pink>
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0
PersistentKeepalive = 25

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find my public key?

Open your new tunnel in the WireGuard app. It displays a public key next to the private key. Copy the public key only.

Can I use the same key on two devices?

No. Create a new key pair for every device. Reusing a key can cause routing and connectivity problems.

What if activation fails?

The dashboard shows a clear reason, for example an invalid or duplicate key, the five-device limit, no free IP address, or a server problem.
