macOS WireGuard Setup Guide
WireGuard on macOS is available as a Mac App Store app (sandboxed, easy) or via Homebrew for headless/server use. Both use the same .conf file.
Create a tunnel in ProxyLink
Go to Devices → + Add → Router / LAN site, select Public Server / Device, and save.
Select macOS and download the config
On the tunnel page choose 🍎 macOS, then click Activate & Download Config to get the .conf file.
Install WireGuard
Option A — Mac App Store (recommended for desktop use):
Search for "WireGuard" in the App Store and install it.
Option B — Homebrew (for terminal/server use):
brew install wireguard-tools
Import the config (App Store app)
Open WireGuard from your Applications folder → click + → Import tunnel(s) from file → select the .conf file. Toggle the tunnel on when prompted.
Or use wg-quick (Homebrew)
Copy the config to the WireGuard directory and bring it up:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/wireguard sudo cp ~/Downloads/*.conf /etc/wireguard/proxylink.conf sudo wg-quick up proxylink
Good to know
What you get once the tunnel is up
- Browser RDP, VNC, and SSH — open a terminal or remote desktop to any device behind the tunnel straight from the ProxyLink dashboard. No client software, no open ports on your side.
- Proxy links — share an HTTPS URL that forwards to any internal web interface (NAS, NVR cameras, PBX admin panels, router UIs) with ProxyLink login in front of it.
- No public exposure — the device keeps zero open ports and needs no static IP. The tunnel is outbound-only WireGuard to EU-hosted infrastructure. Read more about agentless remote access and NIS2 compliance.
