Carol's VPN on Linux
Linux support currently uses WireGuard directly. Install the tools, import your Carol's VPN configuration, and bring the tunnel up from the command line.
2. Get your Carol's VPN config
You need your personal WireGuard configuration for Linux. If you do not already have it, contact support and ask for your Linux WireGuard profile.
Support: support@carolsvpn.com
3. Save the config
Save your file as:
/etc/wireguard/carolsvpn.conf
Then lock the permissions down:
sudo chmod 600 /etc/wireguard/carolsvpn.conf
4. Bring the tunnel up
sudo wg-quick up carolsvpn
Check status:
sudo wg show
Bring it down when needed:
sudo wg-quick down carolsvpn
5. Verify it is working
- Confirm the tunnel shows a recent handshake in
sudo wg show - Check that your public IP changes to the Carol's VPN exit node
- If the tunnel does not establish, send the output of
sudo wg showto support
