> Note: you will need to ask your administrator for your configuration file to complete these steps. It should come as a file with the format of "name.conf".
You will need to download the appropriate version of Wireguard for your system. You can find the installation links at [this URL](https://www.wireguard.com/install/).
### Configuration for Windows and MacOS
Once you have downloaded and installed Wireguard, start it up. You should see a window similar to the following.
{{< imgproc wireguard Resize "1586x1008" >}}
{{< /imgproc >}}
Click the "+" (Macintosh) or "Add Tunnel" in the bottom left or the button "Import tunnel(s) from file".
On the Macintosh, you may see the following warning:
{{< imgproc macwarning Resize "510x494" >}}
{{< /imgproc >}}
Click "Allow". Now you can click the "Activate" button to connect to your Federated Core VPN.
{{< imgproc activate Resize "486x112" >}}
{{< /imgproc >}}
You are connected to your Federated Core and all internet traffic will be tunnelled through the Federated Core.
### Configuration for Ubuntu-based Linux
Install Wireguard using the following command:
> sudo apt install wireguard
Using the configuration file from your administrator, you can use the command line tools from Wireguard to connect to your Federated Core VPN.
