We are excited to tell you that we have added Wireguard support to our manual configuration. Now users can connect Wireguard by setting up the VPN manually. As majority of users prefer setting up Wireguard because of its encryption and speed so that is why PureVPN decided to launch Wireguard support.

To setup Wireguard configuration for Ubunutu 21.04 and above version is required and for Fedora 35 and above version is required.
