Importing Your Configuration

After requesting your EcoVPN configuration, it's time to deploy. This guide walks through importing your `.conf` or `.zip` tunnel files into supported WireGuard clients across platforms.

File Formats

  • .conf: Standard WireGuard configuration - minimal, direct, portable
  • .zip: Bundled format including endpoint map, jurisdiction metadata, QR codes for mobile

macOS / Windows

Open the WireGuard desktop client:

  • Click “Add Tunnel” → “Import from File”
  • Select your EcoVPN `.conf` file
  • Click “Activate” to begin tunneling

iOS / Android

Install the official WireGuard app from the App Store or Play Store:

  • Tap the “+” icon → “Import from QR Code” or “File”
  • Scan the EcoVPN-provided QR or select your config file
  • Label your tunnel and activate

Linux CLI

Use the following to bring your tunnel online:

wg-quick up ecovpn.conf

Use wg show to confirm handshake and endpoint routing.

Router & Advanced Devices

For OpenWRT, pfSense, MikroTik, and others:

  • Access system dashboard
  • Enable WireGuard interface
  • Manually input keys and routing from your EcoVPN config

“Tunnel import is the handshake - from credential to encrypted infrastructure.”
