Configure your system to use WonderProxy’s VPN

macOS VPN Configuration

The following instructions were prepared based on macOS Sequoioa (15.x), but both previous and future versions should have a similar setup process.

Using an automatic configuration profile

  1. Navigate to the IKEv2 VPN settings in your account panel
  2. Generate a new passphrase if you haven’t got one already

  3. Press the Download configuration button next to the passphrase you want to use

    The downloaded configuration will be tied to the passphrase you selected and will stop working once you revoke the passphrase. In that case, you can simply download the new configuration which will replace the previous settings.
  4. In Safari, the Configuration will be installed automatically, but in other browsers you need to open it manually from your downloads folder

  5. Open System Settings and click the Profile Downloaded menu near the top of the list. There you will find WonderProxy IKEv2 VPN item. Double-click that.

  6. The configuration profile should list all the servers supporting a VPN connection added to your WonderProxy account. Press Install… and use your system password to confirm.

  7. Now you can use the toggle next to any of the serves listed in Network » VPN & Filters to connect.
