Configuring a device for new VPN Location manually

If you (or your defguard administrator) have added a new VPN Location and you would like to connect to that location from your existing device (for which you have downloaded configuration for any previous locations), you need to:

  1. Go to your profile (My Profile - which you'll find on the navigation on the left side of the screen)

  2. Click on the gear icon on the device you want to download Location configuration - a menu for that device will apear:

  1. Choose Show configuration

The same configuration screen will popup as you were adding this device, but now you can choose a new location:

  1. Download and configure your Wireguard VPN exactly the same way you did it during the adding device process.

The configuration will be named LocationName-device.conf - just add a new configuration to Wireguard client.

  1. Replacing the PrivateKey

Since defguard doesn't have access to your private keys - but has your public key stored for that device - you need to replace the PrivateKey value in the new configuration location.
