MEGA VPN on Linux with Wireguard¶

There is currently no proprietary MEGA VPN client for Linux yet, but we can use Wireguard.

Install Wireguard¶

Access https://www.wireguard.com/install/ and download the version that matches with your system.

For Debian based distro:

apt install wireguard resolvconf

Create MEGA VPN credentials¶

1. Access MEGA account with browser and navigate to Settings - VPN (or click here https://mega.nz/fm/account/vpn).
2. On the credential section, select the country (for example Spain) you want to connect and click on 'Generate VPN credentials'.
3. The system will create a QR code with a download button, please download the credential.
4. Copy vpn-xxx.conf file in /etc/wireguard and rename it (for example spain.conf)

Connect you MEGA VPN¶

Open terminal and connect:

sudo wg-quick up spain (or filename.conf)

Disconnect you MEGA VPN¶

Open terminal and connect:

sudo wg-quick down spain (or filename.conf)
