Importing WireGuard tunnels via a config file

Adding WireGuard tunnels by importing a configuration file is easy, too. After downloading and installing WireGuard on your device, follow these steps:

1. On your target device, open your BitLaunch control panel and select either "Download .conf", or "Download.zip". If you selected multiple locations and are therefore instructed to download a .zip file, extract it.

2. Open your WireGuard app and select "Import tunnel(s)" from file. Mobile users will have to press the "+" icon first.

3. Navigate to where you saved your config(s), select it, and press "Open".
