### [How do I install my VPN?](#vpn)
{: #vpn}
The recommended approach is to use WireGuard profiles. These can be downloaded from your VPN provider's website. If WireGuard profiles work for you, import them via the system network settings menu. Below are the steps for GNOME.
1. Navigate to the "Network" tab in GNOME settings.

{% include alert.html type='note' content='If you get an error that says "Cannot Import VPN", that is likely because the name of the WireGuard configuration file is too long. GNOME Settings will only accept WireGuard configuration files with filenames 15 characters or less.' %}
If you still want to install a standalone VPN app despite the security degredation, use `ujust install-vpn`.
