Install WireGuard.
Follow the steps below for your chosen OS, then activate the tunnel.
Download and run the WireGuard installer from wireguard.com/install — it takes under a minute.
Open WireGuard, click the down-arrow next to "Add Tunnel", then choose "Add Tunnel from File". Select the .conf file you downloaded.
Click "Activate" next to the tunnel name. The status should change to Active in a few seconds.
Install WireGuard from the Mac App Store (search "WireGuard"), or via Homebrew: brew install wireguard-tools.
Open the WireGuard app, click the + button, then "Import tunnel(s) from file". Choose the .conf file.
Toggle the tunnel on. macOS may ask permission to add a VPN configuration — allow it.
Install WireGuard using your package manager — e.g. sudo apt install wireguard on Debian/Ubuntu, or sudo dnf install wireguard-tools on Fedora.
Copy the .conf file to /etc/wireguard/ (e.g. sudo cp vortex-my-server.conf /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf).
Bring the tunnel up with sudo wg-quick up wg0. To start on boot: sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0.
Install the WireGuard app from the App Store.
Tap the + button, then "Create from QR code". On this page, tap "Show QR code" below to reveal the QR, then scan it with your phone.

iOS may prompt you to allow a VPN profile — tap "Allow" and authenticate.
Install the WireGuard app from Google Play.
Tap the blue + button, then "Import from file or archive". Transfer the .conf file to your phone (via email, cloud drive, or USB) and select it.
Toggle the tunnel on. Android will ask to add a VPN connection — tap OK.
