Install the BelkaVPN WireGuard app (PC/Mac)

This guide shows you how to use BelkaVPN with WireGuard on your Windows PC or Mac. WireGuard is a newer VPN method that's known for being fast and secure. The setup works just like the OpenVPN one: you download the WireGuard app from your BelkaVPN dashboard, create a small setup file (a .conf tunnel file) that points the app at a server, load that file into the app, and turn it on. Each step is spelled out below, so you can follow along at your own pace.

[!NOTE] Before you start: you need a BelkaVPN account. If you don't have one yet, create an account first. A single account lets you connect to BelkaVPN servers in locations all over the world.

Quick summary

1. Sign in at belkavpn.com and open Download.
2. Download the WireGuard app for your computer and install it.
3. In the Config Generator, pick a country and download a WireGuard .conf file.
4. Load the tunnel file into the WireGuard app and click Activate.

Step 1 — Download the WireGuard installer

1. Go to the BelkaVPN login page, enter your email and password, and select Log In.
2. In the sidebar on the left, below Overview, click Download.
3. Under Desktop Apps, find WireGuard (listed below the Windows option) and download the installer (the file that sets up the app):
   • Windows — download the Windows installer.
   • Mac — download the macOS installer.

[!NOTE] The exact Download page layout and per-platform WireGuard installer links couldn't be confirmed against the current dashboard — verify the download location and filenames before publishing.

Step 2 — Install the app

Open the file you just downloaded and follow the on-screen prompts until the app finishes installing.

• Windows — double-click the installer and click through each prompt to accept it.
• Mac — open the installer and follow the steps it shows you.

Step 3 — Generate a tunnel config

A tunnel file (the .conf file) tells the app which BelkaVPN server to connect to. Here's how to create one:

1. Back in your web browser, return to the BelkaVPN Download page.
2. Scroll down to the Config Generator.
3. Choose the country you want to connect through.
4. Click the WireGuard button (below OpenVPN UDP). A .conf file downloads to your computer automatically — you'll load it in the next step.

Step 4 — Import the tunnel and activate

1. Open the WireGuard app you just installed.
2. Click Import tunnel(s) from file, then find and select the .conf file you downloaded.
3. The tunnel now appears in the app's list.
4. Click Activate. When the status changes to Active, you're connected with WireGuard.

Troubleshooting

• You can't find WireGuard on the Download page. Look under Desktop Apps, below the Windows option in the app list.
• Nothing downloads from the Config Generator. Make sure you picked a country before clicking the WireGuard button, then check your browser's downloads folder.
• The tunnel loads but won't activate. Create a fresh .conf file for the same location and load it again, or try a different country in the Config Generator.
