Installation
Windows
> Note: Only Windows 11 and 10 patch 10.0.19041.0 and greater are supported.
Download the .msix file from latest release.
Launch the installer by double-clicking on the download.
Proceed through the installation prompts (will require relaunching the installer as administrator).
Linux
> Note: Only systemd-based Linux systems are currently supported. Also, the firewall must use nftables or iptables with the nft backend (iptables-nft).
Debian Install
This is the easiest method and gives you automatic updates for the app and daemon through your normal system package manager.
Download the .deb file from the latest release.
From the directory where you downloaded the file:
Install
sudo apt install ./wgtunnel*.deb
Arch Linux
For Arch, the app is available on the AUR.
You can install it using an AUR helper such as yay:
On Windows, switching the active network interface (like switching Ethernet → Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi → Ethernet) while a tunnel is active may cause the connection to drop.
Workaround: Restart the tunnel after changing network interfaces.
