A dedicated WireGuard® server is your own private VPN server with its own IP address. This guide covers ordering one, how long set-up takes, where to find it in the client portal and what to do first.
What you get
- Your own server and a dedicated IP address in the location you choose
- Up to 253 WireGuard users, one per device, each with its own keys, internal IP and config file
- Unlimited port forwarding, TCP, UDP or both
- Live status for each device: online or offline, plus data sent and received
- Peer-to-peer control: let your devices reach each other, or keep every device isolated
- A Custom Config Builder for your own DNS servers or a hostname endpoint
- A REST API for users, port forwards, per-user bandwidth limits and DNS-over-TLS
Everything is managed from the client portal. You don't need SSH or the command line.
Ordering a server
A dedicated WireGuard server is a standalone service, so you don't need a PremierVPN plan to order one.
- Go to premiervpn.net/dedicated-wireguard-vpn for current prices and click Get your server.
- Choose a location at checkout. Each location shows how long it takes to set up.
- Complete payment.
If you want servers in more than one location, order one server per location.
How long set-up takes
Every location is set up automatically as soon as your payment is confirmed. Your server is usually ready within minutes, and always within 24 hours.
We email you when the server is ready, and it appears in your portal.
Finding your server in the portal
- Sign in at portal.premiervpn.net.
- In the sidebar, under Dedicated, click WireGuard server. This link appears once a server is on your account.
- The WireGuard servers page lists each server with its location, IP address, WireGuard port, number of users and status.
- Click Manage server on the server you want to set up.
If you can't see the WireGuard server link, go straight to /wireguard.
What's on the server page
- Create WireGuard User: add a user for each device.
- Users: each device with its live status and data used, a .conf download button, Keys (with a QR code), Ports, and more options including the Custom Config Builder and Remove user.
- Server Info: IP Address, WireGuard Port, Subnet, Location, Specs and Assignment ID (used with the API).
- Peer-to-Peer Blocking: whether your devices can reach each other.
- REST API: the API Keys & Documentation button, for automating your server.
The Status at the top of the page shows Online, Maintenance or Offline, or Not responding if the portal can't reach your server just now.
Connect your first device
- In Create WireGuard User, enter a name for the device, such as
laptop, and click Create User. - Click the .conf button next to the new user to download its config file.
- Import the file into the official WireGuard app on that device and activate the tunnel.
Full steps for every platform are in Creating and Managing WireGuard Users. To host a game or service, see Setting Up Port Forwarding.
FAQs
Can I have more than one server?
Yes. Order one server per location. Each one appears on your WireGuard servers page.
Can I move my server to another location?
Not from the portal. Open a support ticket and tell us where you'd like it.
My server shows Maintenance or Offline. What does that mean?
Your server isn't fully available at the moment. If it doesn't return to Online soon, open a support ticket and we'll look into it.
What happens if my subscription ends?
The server is removed from your account. Its IP address, config files and port forwards stop working.
Still stuck? Open a support ticket and tell us your device, app version and what you've tried.
