Importing a profile from your own node

If you run your own PryVPN node, add it to the app with a text profile, a file, a QR code or a pryvpn:// link.

Updated

On your node, create a profile for your phone:

sudo pryctl peer add my-phone

Add --stealth for a profile that also works over TLS 443, and --dns with a number from 0 to 7 to choose the filters.

Then, in PryVPN, open Settings › Import server profile (or Locations › My servers) and either:

  • paste the output (the whole pryctl output is fine),
  • tap Open file to choose a .conf file,
  • tap Scan QR to scan the profile's QR code, or
  • open the pryvpn:// link from any app.

Check the preview and tap Import. The server shows up in Locations › My servers and on Home.

Standard WireGuard profiles and QR codes work too. Imported servers don't need a PryVPN account, and they keep working when our service can't be reached.

Only import profiles from nodes you trust: whoever runs a node can see where your traffic goes. Removing a profile deletes it and its private key from your phone; the node keeps the peer until you remove it with pryctl.
