For each new client, the following steps must be taken. For the sake of simplicity, we will create the config file on the server itself. This, however, means that you need to transfer the config file *securely* to your server as it contains the private key of your client. An alternative way of doing this is to generate the configuration locally on your client and add the necessary lines to your server's configuration.

Next, add your server as peer for this client:

AllowedIPs = 10.100.0.0/24, fd08::/64
Endpoint = [your public IP or domain]:47111
PersistentKeepalive = 25

echo "PersistentKeepalive = 25" >> "${name}.conf"
```

You could consider changing the AllowedIPs in the peer section above to create a full tunnel ([Tunnel all Internet traffic](route-everything.md)).

```bash
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0
```

Then add the public key of the server as well as the PSK for this connection:
