a. **Generate key pair** - if you are a new user, just select this option - it will generate a secure key pair (private and public key) - **securly in you browser (Defguard doesn't store user private keys)**

{% hint style="info" %}
Choosing this option - when you download your configuration (or use QR Code to configure Wireguard on your mobile device) - **the private key will be included in your configuration and there will be noting else you need to do**
{% endhint %}

b. **Use my own public key** - if you are an advanced user and know how to generate a key pair yourself - you can choose this option and enter **your own public key (keeping your private key to yourself)**

{% hint style="warning" %}
Choosing this option - **you will need to change PrivateKey (insert the private key you hold)** in the configuration file you download
{% endhint %}

4. Now you can **download/configure your Wireguard/VPN client by:**
   1. **downloading** the configuration
   2. **Copy** configuration to Clipboard
   3. Use Wireguard feature to configure by scanning the **QR Code**
