A WireGuard tunnel from your laptop to the 256 infrastructure server in Boston, MA — routes your traffic through a US exit point, past network-level blocks like Uganda's on facebook.com.
Install the WireGuard client for your device — official builds only.
Get your config file — 256vpn.conf is issued per device by the 256 team. Don't share yours.
Import the tunnel — open WireGuard, choose Import tunnel(s) from file, and select 256vpn.conf.
Activate — select the 256vpn tunnel and switch it on. The handshake completes in under a second once it's reachable.
Verify the exit IP — run this and confirm it prints 72.62.165.54:
curl ifconfig.me
The server's own firewall is already open on UDP 51820. If the handshake still won't complete, the most likely cause is a cloud-level firewall on the hosting side (Hostinger's control panel) blocking that port from outside — worth checking there next.
