Set up WireGuard on Windows

This takes about three minutes. You'll install the official WireGuard app and import a configuration file (a small .conf text file). With vpn.golf, that config is what you get when you "play a hole."

1. Install the WireGuard app

Download the official client from wireguard.com/install and run the installer. It's signed, small, and made by the WireGuard project itself — don't use third-party "WireGuard" downloads.

2. Get your config file

From your vpn.golf clubhouse, pick a hole and download its .conf file (or scan the QR code on mobile). The private key inside it was generated on your device — we never see it.

3. Import the tunnel

Open the WireGuard app, click Import tunnel(s) from file, and select the .conf you downloaded. The tunnel appears in the list.

4. Activate

Click Activate. Within a second the status flips to active and your traffic is now exiting through that hole. Visit our What is my IP tool to confirm your IP has changed, and the DNS leak test to confirm there are no leaks.

5. Disconnect

Click Deactivate any time. That's the whole loop: import once, activate/deactivate as needed.
