ROOT VPN on Linux

ROOT works on Linux today through WireGuard, which ships in the kernel on modern distributions, so you get a fast, low-overhead tunnel using standard tools. A dedicated ROOT command-line client is coming soon to make switching servers a one-liner.

Because it runs on WireGuard, ROOT on Linux is easy to script into your workflow, bring it up on boot, tie it to a network, or wire it into a container, all with the config you generate from your account.

How to set up on Linux

A few steps and you are connected. No technical know-how needed.

  1. Create a free ROOT account and open its settings to generate a WireGuard configuration for the server you want.
  2. Install WireGuard with your package manager, for example apt install wireguard or the equivalent for your distribution.
  3. Save the ROOT config to /etc/wireguard/, for example as root.conf.
  4. Bring the tunnel up with wg-quick up root, and down again with wg-quick down root.
  5. Confirm your new IP with a quick check, then script wg-quick into startup if you want it always on.
