Android WireGuard Setup Guide

The Android WireGuard app can import a tunnel by scanning a QR code — no file transfer or USB needed. The QR code is generated directly on your tunnel page.

1

Install the WireGuard app

Install WireGuard from the Google Play Store.

2

Create and activate a tunnel in ProxyLink

Go to Devices → + Add → Router / LAN site, select Public Server / Device, and save. On the tunnel page, choose 📱 Android / iOS from the platform picker, then click Activate Tunnel. A QR code appears on the page.

3

Scan the QR code

In the WireGuard app, tap +Scan from QR code. Point your phone at the QR code on your screen. The tunnel imports instantly — give it a name when prompted.

4

Enable the tunnel

Toggle the tunnel on in the app. Android will ask to set up a VPN profile — tap OK. Your phone is now on the ProxyLink VPN.

5

Create a proxy link

In ProxyLink, create a proxy link using your phone's VPN IP and whatever port you want to expose — useful for sharing your phone's local web server, camera, etc.

Good to know

The QR code contains your private key — only scan it in a private location and don't screenshot it in shared environments.
WireGuard on Android supports split tunneling — you can route only specific apps through the tunnel.

What you get once the tunnel is up
