<termname="vpn_client">An application used to connect to VPN servers from a specific device and provide device level capabilities.</term>
It is important to understand that %product% is a <tooltipterm="vpn_client">VPN client</tooltip> application and not a
4
+
<tooltipterm="vpn_service">VPN service</tooltip> provider. In short, this means that this application does not provide
5
+
a VPN server for users to connect to by default. It is expected that the user either is hosting their own VPN server, or
6
+
they are paying a <tooltipterm="vpn_service">VPN service</tooltip> provider.

If you are new to using VPNs and do not yet have a <tooltipterm="vpn_service">VPN service</tooltip> provider or VPN server,
9
+
one of the easiest ways to get started is with a free <tooltipterm="vpn_service">VPN service</tooltip> provider like <ahref="https://protonvpn.com/">ProtonVPN</a>.

I do not personally use <a href="https://protonvpn.com/">ProtonVPN</a>, nor am I advocating for using their services.
14
+
The reason I am referencing this company in these docs is because they happen to be a well-known VPN provider with a free tier and an
15
+
easy method for exporting <a href="https://www.wireguard.com/">WireGuard</a> configurations.
16
+
It is <format style="bold">highly recommended</format> you do your own research on which VPN provider you want to use as you are trusting them with access to
17
+
to your sensitive internet traffic data.

### Steps for getting a WireGuard config:

+
- Create a new account on <ahref="https://protonvpn.com/">ProtonVPN</a>'s site.

+
