🧩 WireGuard — the Technology
WireGuard is an open-source VPN protocol — a modern technology that creates a secure and private tunnel between your device and a VPN server.
Think of WireGuard as the engine that makes the VPN connection run:
- It encrypts your internet traffic.
- It hides your real IP address.
- It keeps the connection fast and stable.
You can download the official WireGuard app from the App Store or Google Play — but the app alone doesn’t give you access to any VPN servers.
🌍 Trackaway — the VPN Provider
We give you:
- Secure VPN servers in multiple locations (Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Prague, and others).
- An easy Dashboard where you can create and manage your connection profiles.
- Ready-to-use configurations that work with the WireGuard app.
So when you use Trackaway, you’re connecting to Trackaway’s servers using the WireGuard protocol for encryption.
⚙️ Why It’s Used
VPN providers like trackaway use WireGuard because it offers:
- High performance — faster and more stable than older VPN technologies like OpenVPN or IPSec.
- Strong security — uses modern, proven cryptography.
- Simplicity — configuration files are short and easy to import.
- Low battery and CPU usage — ideal for mobile devices.
🔐 How It Works
When you connect with WireGuard:
- Your device and the VPN server exchange public keys (like digital handshakes).
- A secure, encrypted tunnel is established between them.
- All your internet traffic then passes through this tunnel.
- Websites and services only see the VPN server’s IP address — not your real one.
