## Login to your Client area
|
|
|
|
Login to your [Client Area](https://torguard.net/clientarea.php){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}.
|
|
|
|
??? check "Example"
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Create a user account
|
|
|
|
First we're going to create a [User Account](https://torguard.net/clientarea.php?action=changepw){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} for your VPN so we won't need to use your main account that you use to login to your account on the Torguard site.
|
|
This account will be used for authentication with your VPN Torrent client.
|
|
|
|
`Services` > `My Services` > `Manage` > `Manage Credentials`
|
|
|
|
??? Check "Example"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a new username and choose a secure password or create a random username and password.
|
|
|
|

## How to get the IP of your VPN server
|
|
|
|
Now it's time to get the IP of your VPN server you're going to use from the [Global VPN Network](https://torguard.net/network/){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}, From your Client Area.
|
|
|
|
`Servers` > `Global VPN Network`
|
|
|
|
??? Check "Example"
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Global VPN Network
|
|
|
|
Then we're going to select which server we're going to use,
|
|
|
|
For the best speed it's recommended to choose the one nearest to your location.
|
|
Let's use for this example: `USA Miami` and copy/paste the Hostname `us-fl.secureconnect.me`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Get your VPN IP
|
|
|
|
Open a cmd window or something equal and type:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ping us-fl.secureconnect.me
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will then get the IP of the server.
|
|
Remember that for later use.

## How to setup Port forwarding
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
This section will consist of 2 parts depending if you want to use OVPN or WireGuard so make sure you choose your preferred VPN Tunnel type.
|
|
|
|
### Request Port Forward
|
|
|
|
From your Client Area go to your [My Services](https://torguard.net/clientarea.php?action=products){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}.
|
|
|
|
Then click on `Manage` and select `Request Port Forward`.
|
|
|
|
`Services` > `My Services` > `Manage` > `Request Port Forward`
|
|
|
|
??? Check "Example"
|
|
|
|
|
|
### VPN Tunnel Type
|
|
|
|
Choose your preferred VPN Tunnel type.
|
|
|
|
#### OVPN Request Port Forward
|
|
|
|
??? example "OVPN Request Port Forward"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. That's the `IP` we found earlier.
|
|
1. Select `UDP`.
|
|
1. Select a `Port/Auth` I personally use `995|SHA1`.
|
|
1. Select the `Protocol` `TCP`.
|
|
1. I suggest to use a high `Port` number 10.000+ or a game port you don't use, don't use the default torrent ports 6881- 6889
|
|
(This is also the port you will use in your torrent client).
|
|
1. Click on the `+` sign and do the same with the `UDP` `Protocol`.
|
|
1. Then click on `Submit Request`.
|
|
|
|
If everything went according to plan you will see something like this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will also receive a e-mail with the ports you forwarded.
|
|
|
|
!!! Note
|
|
Normally it doesn't take more then a few seconds/minutes to get the ports approved if it takes longer or you get `PENDING` I suggest to ping the server again (or choose another sever) and you often get a new IP and retry it again with the new IP.
|
|
|
|
#### WireGuard Request Port Forward
|
|
|
|
??? example "WireGuard Request Port Forward"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. That's the `IP` we found earlier.
|
|
1. Select `UDP`. (:bangbang: **KEEP THIS ON UDP FOR WireGuard** :bangbang:)
|
|
1. Select a `Port/Auth` and select `WireGuard`.
|
|
1. Select the `Protocol` `TCP`.
|
|
1. I suggest to use a high `Port` number 10.000+ or a game port you don't use, don't use the default torrent ports 6881- 6889
|
|
(This is also the port you will use in your torrent client).
|
|
1. Click on the `+` sign and do the same with the `UDP` `Protocol`.
|
|
1. Then click on `Submit Request`.
|
|
|
|
!!! warning "WARNING"
|
|
:bangbang: DON'T CHANGE OPTION 2 `UDP` to `TCP` :bangbang:
|
|
|
|
If everything went according to plan you will see something like this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will also receive a e-mail with the ports you forwarded.
|
|
|
|
!!! Note
|
|
Normally it doesn't take more then a few seconds/minutes to get the ports approved if it takes longer or you get `PENDING` I suggest to ping the server again (or choose another sever) and you often get a new IP and retry it again with the new IP.

## How to create the config file
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
This section will consist of 2 parts depending if you want to use OVPN or WireGuard so make sure you choose your preferred VPN Tunnel type.
|
|
|
|
From your Client Area go to your [Config Generator](https://torguard.net/tgconf.php?action=vpn-openvpnconfig){:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}.
|
|
|
|
`Tools` > `Config Generator`
|
|
|
|
??? Check "Example Select Tools > Config Generator"
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Config Generator
|
|
|
|
Choose your preferred VPN Tunnel type.
|
|
|
|
#### OVPN Config Generator
|
|
|
|
??? example "OVPN Config Generator"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Keep this on `Default`.
|
|
1. Choose `OpenVPN`.
|
|
1. Put in the `IP` we got earlier and used for the port forwarding.
|
|
1. Choose `UDP`.
|
|
1. Choose `995|SHA1` or what you selected during the port forwarding.
|
|
1. Choose `AES-128-GCM`.
|
|
1. Choose `2.4 and above`.
|
|
1. Check `Require TLS 1.2`
|
|
1. Click on `Generate Config`,
|
|
|
|
Now you will download a `.conf` file with a random number.
|
|
|
|
Rename the extension from `*.conf` to `*.ovpn` and copy it to your openvpn folder of your VPN torrent client.
|
|
|
|
#### WireGuard Config Generator
|
|
|
|
??? example "WireGuard Config Generator"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Choose `WireGuard`.
|
|
1. Put in the `IP` we got earlier and used for the port forwarding.
|
|
1. Add your `VPN Username`.
|
|
1. Add your `VPN Password.
|
|
1. Click on `Generate Config`
|
|
|
|
Now you will download a `.conf` file with a random number.
|
|
|
|
Rename the file from `*.conf` to `wg0.conf` and copy it to your wireguard folder of your VPN torrent client.
|
|
|
|
Before we can make use of it you will need to edit the `wg0.conf` file first and add the following at line 7.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
PreUp = bash /config/wireguard/torguard.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your wg0.conf should look something like this:
|
|
|
|
```shell linenums="1"
|
|
# TorGuard WireGuard Config
|
|
[Interface]
|
|
PrivateKey = secretprivatekey
|
|
ListenPort = 51820
|
|
DNS = 1.1.1.1
|
|
Address = xx.xx.xxx.xx/24
|
|
PreUp = bash /config/wireguard/torguard.sh
|
|
|
|
[Peer]
|
|
PublicKey = publickey
|
|
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
|
|
Endpoint = xx.xxx.xx.xxx:1443
|
|
PersistentKeepalive = 25
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then you will need to create a bash script in your `/config/wireguard` of your torrent client appdata folder named `torguard.sh` (*This script will get executed just before starting WireGuard*) with the following info it depending which images you're using.
|
|
|
|
##### Hotio's VPN Containers
|
|
|
|
??? example "Hotio's VPN Containers"
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/usr/bin/bash
|
|
|
|
pubkey=$(grep PrivateKey "${CONFIG_DIR}/wireguard/wg0.conf" | awk '{print $3}' | wg pubkey)
|
|
wgserver=$(grep Endpoint "${CONFIG_DIR}/wireguard/wg0.conf" | awk '{print $3}')
|
|
|
|
curl -ksG -u "${TORGUARD_USER}":"${TORGUARD_PASS}" \
|
|
--data-urlencode "public-key=${pubkey}" "https://${wgserver}/api/v1/setup"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will also have to add the additional environment variables `TORGUARD_USER` and `TORGUARD_PASS` or fill them in into the script directly (see curl command). These credentials are the ones we created [HERE](#create-a-user-account).
|
|
|
|
##### Binhex VPN Containers
|
|
|
|
??? example "Binhex VPN Containers"
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/usr/bin/bash
|
|
|
|
pubkey=$(grep PrivateKey "config/wireguard/wg0.conf" | awk '{print $3}' | wg pubkey)
|
|
wgserver=$(grep Endpoint "config/wireguard/wg0.conf" | awk '{print $3}')
|
|
|
|
curl -ksG -u "${VPN_USER}":"${VPN_PASS}" \
|
|
--data-urlencode "public-key=${pubkey}" "https://${wgserver}/api/v1/setup"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will also have to add the additional environment variables `VPN_USER` and `VPN_PASS or fill them in into the script directly (see curl command). These credentials are the ones we created [HERE](#create-a-user-account).
