Import & Export

WGnext supports the same import and export formats as the official WireGuard app.

Import

Supported formats

• .conf files: Standard WireGuard configuration files (wg-quick format)
• .zip archives: ZIP files containing one or more .conf files
• QR codes: WireGuard configuration encoded as QR codes (iOS only)

How to import

From the app

1. Tap + in the tunnel list
2. Choose Import from file or Scan QR code
3. Select your configuration

From Files / Share Sheet

On iOS, you can also open .conf or .zip files directly from the Files app or any share sheet — WGnext registers as a handler for these file types.

Export

Export all tunnels

1. Open the app
2. Select the export option from the menu
3. Choose a destination for the .zip file

The exported archive contains all tunnel configurations as individual .conf files in standard wg-quick format.

What’s exported

Exported configurations include all tunnel settings:

• Interface: private key, addresses, DNS, MTU, listen port
• Peers: public key, pre-shared key, endpoint, allowed IPs, persistent keepalive

What’s NOT exported

• Failover group configuration (group membership, failover settings)
• On-demand activation rules
• App preferences

These are specific to WGnext and would need to be reconfigured after import.

Configuration format

WGnext uses the standard wg-quick configuration format:

PrivateKey = <base64-encoded private key>
Address = 10.0.0.2/32, fd00::2/128
DNS = 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1
MTU = 1420

[Peer]
PublicKey = <base64-encoded public key>
PresharedKey = <base64-encoded pre-shared key>
Endpoint = vpn.example.com:51820
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0
PersistentKeepalive = 25
