Setting up AstraGuardVPN takes less than 5 minutes. Create an account, pick a plan from $5.99/month, download a config or app, and connect.

## Steps

2. **Download the config or app** — Download OpenVPN or WireGuard configuration files from your dashboard, or install the AstraGuardVPN client for your platform.
3. **Import and connect** — Import your config into OpenVPN Connect, WireGuard, or your native OS VPN client, then connect to a server.
4. **Verify you are protected** — Use the IP check tool on /tools to confirm your real IP is hidden before you browse.
