Setting up WireGuard on a Keenetic router consists of three stages: installing a WireGuard client, getting and installing a .conf configuration file, customizing connection priorities.
Setting up WireGuard client and server
To set up WireGuard it is necessary to install a component of the «WireGuard» system:
1. Open your router’s web interface. To do that, open 192.168.1.1 or my.keenetic.net in your browser.
2. Type your router’s web interface login and password (you may find them on the router’s back label stuck on the bottom panel of the device).
3. Go to «General settings».
4. Tap on «Component options».
5. Find «WireGuard» and install it. During the installation process, your internet connection may temporarily disappear.
Setting up VPN on Keenetic router
Getting .conf configuration files
You may get the .conf configuration file from the your BlancVPN personal account:
- Choose the location, then «Other protocols» → «WireGuard». Save the .conf file. After you have downloaded the first .conf file, the file on the website will be automatically replaced by the next one, which you may download on your other device (Blanc_LT_VNO1 → Blanc_LT_VNO2, and so on).
Adding a VPN configuration:
1. Open your router’s web interface. To do that, open 192.168.1.1 or my.keenetic.net in your browser.
2. Go to «Other connections» → «WireGuard».
3. Tap «Download from file» and choose the previously downloaded .conf configuration file for the location you want.
4. Tick «Use for accessing the internet».
5. Turn on the VPN.
Customizing connection priorities
Customizing VPN priorities for all connected devices
Like that, the VPN will work on all the devices connected to the Wi-Fi.
1. Go to «Connection priorities».
2. Move the VPN connection so that it is situated above the provider connection.
3. Save changes.
4. On the same page tap on «+Add policy».
5. Give it any name and tap on “OK”.
6. Add to the created policy your VPN connection only and place it above the provider connection.
7. Save changes.
8. Go to «Policy bindings».
9. Add your devices, including the «Home segment», to the policy you have created in Step
10. Now you may turn the VPN connection on your router on and off. To do that, toggle the switch on the «Other connections» → «VPN-connections» page accordingly.
Customizing VPN priorities for certain devices
If you want certain devices to be connected to the VPN:
1. Go to «Connection priorities». For the «Default policy» leave the provider connection above the VPN connection.
2. In the VPN connection policy (the one created in Step 4 previously), place VPN as a priority. If the provider connection is active, deactivate it.
3. Check the «Add new connections automatically» checkbox.
4. Go to «Policy bindings». Leave all the devices in the access policy for the «Default policy».
5. Add devices you want to be connected to the VPN to a VPN connection policy.
If a laptop is the only device connected to the VPN, the connection policy settings will look like this:

Routing setup
By configuring static routes in Keentic routers, you can set up services and websites in such a way that only selected resources will work with a VPN connection, while all other traffic bypasses it. Or you can exclude certain sites from using the VPN. More details in our instructions.
