How do I set up WireGuard on Surfshark?

WireGuard is currently available in the latest version of Surfshark and Surfshark Live.

This page describes how to set up WireGuard on Surfshark devices. It will include specific details for both Surfshark Live and the older Surfshark VPS devices.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that you have a backup copy of your private data, in case you accidentally wipe it, and make sure that the data you want to protect is stored offsite, so it cannot be easily deleted or replaced without your knowledge. See the privacy policy for details.

WireGuard VPNs work best when connected to a server that can provide them with as much bandwidth and network connectivity as possible. You may need to install other software such as OpenVPN on the servers and/or create configuration files to ensure that you can receive enough network bandwidth from the server(s). On this page, we show how to set up Surfshark Live and Surfshark VPS versions. Please see the detailed instructions in the individual sections for specific instructions.

When setting up a new Surfshark Live device, you can use either the "Laptop" or "Desktop" modes. These modes were added later, and can be found under Settings > System > Wireless. If you are using the "Desktop" mode, make sure that you connect your laptop (ie the device connected to the Ethernet cable) to your LAN port (the device's port labeled Ethernet). In this way, you can utilize your existing LAN connection to access the Internet through your existing LAN router.

On the other hand, if you are using the "Laptop" mode, make sure that your laptop is not connected to the network and then start the computer with the WiFi/Wireless/Ethernet adapter connected to your laptop. This mode should be ideal for those who are at home or in a hotel where they do not have any additional network connectivity. In this mode, the device will start the Wi-Fi service on its own and attempt to connect to the nearest hotspot or open wifi network. If the hotspot/open wifi network is not accessible, then the device will automatically connect to our open VPN tunnel, even if there is no internet connectivity.

If you are using a Surfshark VPS, use the "Network" mode.
