2. Launch the installer by double-clicking on the download.
3. Proceed through the installation prompts (will require relaunching the installer as administrator).

Linux

Arch Linux

For Arch, the app is available on the AUR.
You can install it using an AUR helper such as yay:

yay -S wgtunnel-bin

Linux Tarball Installation (Manual updates only)

For users on immutable distros, NixOS, or who prefer zero repository footprint.

Known issues

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.
