🧭 Configuring Server Routes​

By default, the route 0.0.0.0/0 is configured, which makes all traffic pass through the VPN.

If you want to route only a local network, follow these steps:

  1. Remove the default route.
  2. Click Add Route and enter, for example, 10.0.0.0/8.
warning

⚠️ The route 0.0.0.0/0 tunnels all internet traffic via VPN, which may generate unexpected traffic costs.
Use 10.0.0.0/8 to access only private networks, or specific ranges with /32, such as 10.0.10.12/32.

📥 Downloading Connection Profile​

After creating the server, go to the Users tab.

  • Click the download icon or the user's links button.
