What to do
Open the Devices section
Sign in to your account and open the Devices section.
Choose the format
Choose WireGuard (.conf file), the simplest and fastest, or OpenVPN (.ovpn file). These are two VPN connection protocols.
Choose the location
Choose the location: the file will always connect to it.
Duration (OpenVPN)
For an OpenVPN file, choose how long it stays valid: 90 days by default. A WireGuard file does not expire.
Download the file
Download the file. Its private key is created in your browser and included in the file: it is never sent to FuzeVPN.
Import the file
Import it into the official WireGuard app (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, Android; WireGuard package on Linux) or into OpenVPN Connect. The whole device then goes through FuzeVPN. An OpenVPN file contains the certificate and key it needs: no FuzeVPN username or password is requested.
Can I use FuzeVPN on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Linux?
Yes, with a WireGuard or OpenVPN configuration file. It is created in one click in your account and imported into the official WireGuard or OpenVPN app. The whole device then goes through FuzeVPN.
The FuzeVPN apps cover Windows and Android, and the extensions cover Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Brave. Everywhere else, a configuration file takes over.
On Mac and Linux, you can also install the FuzeVPN extension in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Brave: it protects your browsing. With a configuration file, the whole device goes through FuzeVPN.
Is an iPhone app planned?
Yes, in early 2027. Meanwhile, use FuzeVPN on iPhone and iPad with a WireGuard or OpenVPN file and the official WireGuard or OpenVPN app. On a Mac, as you prefer: the extension for your browser or a configuration file.
How long does a file work, and how many places does it take?
A WireGuard file does not expire. For an OpenVPN file, you choose how long it stays valid when you create it, 90 days by default. When this period ends, regenerate it and download the new file, without using an extra place.
A file works as long as your subscription is active and the file has not been deleted. After a break in your subscription, it works again as soon as you resubscribe, without regenerating it.
Each file counts as one device within your limit of 5, including an OpenVPN file that has reached the end of its duration.
How do I change location with a file?
A file always connects to the same location. For another location, create a new configuration. On a router, replace the old file with the new one.
Each file counts as one device. To keep the same number of places, first delete the old one in the Devices section of your account. It is this deletion that frees up its place, not deleting the file from your computer.
Can I protect a router, an internet box or a game console?
Yes: set up your router or internet box with a WireGuard or OpenVPN file. Every connected device benefits, TV and PS5, Xbox and Switch consoles included.
The router or internet box must support a WireGuard or OpenVPN VPN client. This is the case, for example, with OpenWrt, Asus routers and some internet boxes. Preferably choose a WireGuard file, the lightest option for a router.
The router counts as a single device and shares its guaranteed 50 Mbit/s between the devices that go through it.
How do I use FuzeVPN on a game console?
Connect the console, over Wi-Fi or by cable, to the network of a router set up with FuzeVPN. Nothing to install on the console.
For online gaming, choose the location closest to the game’s servers.
I lost my configuration file: what should I do?
Regenerate it from the Devices section of your account. The old access is revoked and replaced, without using an extra device place.
FuzeVPN does not keep the private key of your files and therefore cannot send you the old one.
My file no longer connects: why?
- An OpenVPN file stops working at the end of the chosen duration: regenerate it and import the new file.
- A regenerated file replaces the old one, whose access is revoked: import the new file.
- A file deleted in the Devices section no longer works: create a new one.
- A file works as long as your subscription is active: check that it is. After resubscribing, it works again immediately, without regenerating it.
How do I free up a file’s place?
Delete the file in the Devices section of your account: its access is disabled immediately. It is this deletion that frees up its place, not deleting the file from your computer.
Who can I give a file to?
The people in your household: they can use your subscription. Each file counts as one device within your limit of 5.
