FAQ

General & Basics
What is a VPN?

A VPN encrypts your connection and routes it through a secure tunnel. Your IP is replaced with ours so sites see our address, not yours.

Why does it matter?

ISPs log what you visit. Australia shares data with the Five Eyes alliance. A VPN breaks that visibility.

What makes Blackout VPN different?

No accounts. No trackers. No analytics. You buy a key and connect. Privacy is the product.

Keys & Devices
Do my keys work on all devices?

Yes. Phones, tablets, desktops and laptops. Each key protects one device; we send two by default.

How many devices?

Up to five devices per plan. Need more? Email us.

Lost my key?

Treat it like a car key and keep backups. Email us for help reissuing if needed.

Payments & Plans
Which methods are private?

PayPal: fast, not anonymous.

Crypto.com / MetaMask: secure; MetaMask can be anonymous with good hygiene.

Monero: fully private.

Cash by mail: offline, no paper trail.

Refunds?

No refunds after a key is issued. If a server fails or a config is broken, we will reissue or refund.

When my plan ends?

Your key stops connecting. No auto renewals or emails.

Support & Contact
How do I contact you?

Email hide@blackoutvpn.au or message us on Session. No forms.

After your payment clears, we email you your Blackout VPN private keys (WireGuard configuration files). Install WireGuard for your distro, import the config, and you're connected instantly.

1. Install WireGuard

Choose your distro below. The code is direct from the official WireGuard documentation .

Ubuntu Ubuntu

Standard install from apt.

sudo apt install wireguard

Debian Debian

For Debian 10 (Buster) and older, enable backports first.

# Debian 11+
sudo apt install wireguard

# Debian 10 (Buster)
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wireguard -t buster-backports

Fedora Fedora

Install via DNF.

sudo dnf install wireguard-tools

Mageia Mageia

Install via urpmi.

sudo urpmi wireguard-tools

Arch Linux Arch Linux

Use LTS or DKMS packages for kernels under 5.6.

sudo pacman -S wireguard-tools

OpenSUSE OpenSUSE / SLE

Install using zypper.

sudo zypper install wireguard-tools

Slackware Slackware

Install via slackpkg.

sudo slackpkg install wireguard-tools

Alpine Linux Alpine Linux

Latest tools from apk.

apk add -U wireguard-tools

Gentoo Gentoo

wireguard-modules available for older kernels.

emerge wireguard-tools

NixOS NixOS

Add WireGuard to boot and system packages in configuration.nix.

boot.extraModulePackages = [ config.boot.kernelPackages.wireguard ];
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.wireguard pkgs.wireguard-tools ];

Verify installation: wg --version

2. Import your Blackout VPN config
  1. After purchase, you’ll receive your private keys in a config.zip file containing one or more .conf tunnel files.
  2. Unzip the archive and place your .conf files into /etc/wireguard/ (ex: /etc/wireguard/Iceland.conf).
  3. Secure the file so only root can read it: sudo chmod 600 /etc/wireguard/Iceland.conf
  4. Bring the tunnel online: sudo wg-quick up Iceland Replace Iceland with your config name (without .conf).
  5. Verify the tunnel is active: sudo wg show (Shows peers, handshake status and traffic.)
  6. Disconnect when finished: sudo wg-quick down Iceland
  7. Optional: Enable auto-start on boot: sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@Iceland
  8. NixOS users: Use declarative configuration via configuration.nix (see the NixOS Wiki).

Troubleshooting: If the tunnel fails to start, check logs with sudo journalctl -u wg-quick@Iceland.
