Your laptop or phone in the private network
Add a laptop or phone to your WireGuard network and it reaches your servers on their private addresses, encrypted, from any network. The device makes its own key in the WireGuard app; you only paste its public key here.

Click Config on the device's row and paste those lines in the app, under the line with PrivateKey. Sample tunnel config shows the same lines before the device is added.
03 · Change or remove it
- Edit the name, the tunnel address or the public IPs on the row, tick or untick On this server, then Save.
- Delete removes the device from every server, together with any firewall rule made for its private address, so a new device that gets the same address inherits nothing.
