TunnelFleet manages VPN software on your VPS. To use the VPN, install an official client app on the device that should join the network, then import a config or profile from the dashboard.
Creating a server in TunnelFleet is not enough by itself. You still need a client app (WireGuard or OpenVPN Connect) on your phone, laptop, or router.

​
Choose a protocol

WireGuard

Fastest option. Import a .conf file or scan a QR code. No username/password for the tunnel itself.

OpenVPN

Use OpenVPN Connect with a .ovpn profile plus the VPN username and password from the Users tab.

​
Before you install an app

1

Server is active

Finish the install script so the server status is active in TunnelFleet.
2

Protocol is installed

Confirm WireGuard and/or OpenVPN are active on the server Protocols tab.
3

VPN user is synced

Open Users. The default tunnelfleet user (or another user) should be active. Download the WireGuard config or OpenVPN profile from there.
For the full flow from signup to first connection, see Quick Start.

Troubleshooting

  • App installed but nothing to import → download the config from Users first
  • WireGuard handshake fails → UDP 51820 blocked on the VPS or cloud firewall
  • OpenVPN auth failed → wrong username/password, or the user is still pending sync
  • Connected with no internet → check DNS / AllowedIPs in the WireGuard profile, or try OpenVPN TCP on restrictive networks
