Use the native app when one is available
The native app is the shortest path on Windows, macOS, and supported Linux desktops because it handles keys, server selection, and tunnel state in one place. Mobile availability is shown honestly on each download page.
Manual setup is useful when no native app is available or when you want direct control over the config. The underlying connection is the same, but you are responsible for importing and protecting the file.
Pick the right setup path
- Native app for the simplest one-click connection
- Manual config for compatible tunnel clients
- Planned browser extension after release for browser-only traffic
The fastest way to connect
Most people do not need a manual setup at all. Install the native app, sign in, and turn it on.
