How do I import a WireGuard profile on iPhone or iPad?

Install the official WireGuard app. Sign in to the VPN-Accounts dashboard, open VPN Configuration Files, and download the WireGuard profile for your selected endpoint. Save it in Files and use WireGuard’s file import option to add it.

Activate the tunnel and open an ordinary website. Check for a recent handshake and moving transfer counters where the app shows them. If you expect a full tunnel, verify the public IP in the browser you actually use. See the complete WireGuard import guide.

Install, sign in and connect.

Before you start: Have an active VPN account, your VPN username and password, and an internet connection ready.

  1. Install and open VPNClient.

    Download VPNClient from the App Store, then open it on your iPhone or iPad.

  2. Enter your VPN credentials.

    Sign in with the VPN username and password supplied after purchase.

    When iOS or iPadOS asks to add a VPN configuration, review and approve the permission so VPNClient can establish a connection.

  3. Choose a server and connection option.

    Choose a nearby server, or select the country you need. In the connection settings, start with WireGuard.

  4. Connect and confirm.

    Start the connection. Check that VPNClient shows an active connection and your selected VPN server.

Connection options and settings

VPNClient offers WireGuard, UDP OpenVPN and TCP OpenVPN. The two OpenVPN options use different network transports; if one connection option will not connect, try another.

Leave IPv6 and DNS settings unchanged unless you are troubleshooting or following specific instructions.

Use the built-in iPhone or iPad VPN settings

Manual IKEv2 uses iOS or iPadOS Settings, separately from VPNClient. Open the VPN configuration area in Settings and add a new configuration using these values.

FieldValue
TypeIKEv2
DescriptionA name you will recognize
Server AddressYour selected server hostname — choose a hostname
Remote IDYour selected server hostname (same as Server Address)
Local IDYour VPN username
VPN credentialsYour VPN username and password, when requested

Save the configuration and connect. If you see a certificate, proxy or authentication prompt not covered here, contact Support with your iOS version before continuing.

Prefer manual OpenVPN setup?

Still need an account and an .ovpn profile? See how to buy OpenVPN access and get your configuration. If your account is already active, continue with the dashboard download below.

Generate an OpenVPN configuration in your VPN dashboard, then download and import it into an OpenVPN-compatible client.

Why hasn’t my location changed?

A VPN changes your network route and visible public IP address. It does not change GPS coordinates, Apple ID or App Store region. Apps can also use location permissions and account settings to determine your location.

Having trouble connecting?

  • Check your VPN credentials.
  • Restart VPNClient.
  • Try another server.
  • Try another available connection option.
  • Compare Wi-Fi and mobile data, and record the error.

What to do when the iPhone VPN stays on Connecting

  1. Check the first-run prompt. If the app asks to add a VPN configuration, allow it for the app you intended to install. Reopen the app and try connecting again. If the prompt never appears or a managed device blocks the change, ask the device administrator.
  2. Check which VPN is active. In Settings, open General, then VPN & Device Management. If another personal VPN keeps reconnecting, disconnect it in its own app before testing your chosen client. Leave employer or school profiles in place. See Apple’s profile guidance before changing a configuration.
  3. Compare networks. On an iPhone or cellular iPad, try the same server and connection option on Wi-Fi and cellular data. A Wi-Fi-only iPad can use a second permitted Wi-Fi network. If only one network fails, check for a captive sign-in page first. If both fail, note the exact error and try another server.

Tell Support which app and iOS or iPadOS version you used, and whether the result changed with the network.
