One of the following is required:
Important notes:
- Publicly accessible URL to a zip file containing the Openvpn configuration files
- Publicly accessible URL to a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers **and attach** an example Openvpn configuration file for both TCP and UDP
- There is no need to support both OpenVPN and Wireguard for a provider, but it's better to support both if possible
- We do **not** implement authentication to access servers information behind a login. This is way too time consuming unfortunately
- If it's not possible to support a provider natively, you can still use the [the custom provider](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/providers/custom.md)
## For Wireguard
Wireguard can be natively supported ONLY if:
- the `PrivateKey` field value is the same across all servers for one user account
- the `Address` field value is:
- can be found in a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers publicly available; OR
- the same across all servers for one user account
- the `PublicKey` field value is:
- can be found in a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers publicly available; OR
- the same across all servers for one user account
- the `Endpoint` field value:
- can be found in a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers publicly available
- can be determined using a pattern, for example using country codes in hostnames
If any of these conditions are not met, Wireguard cannot be natively supported or there is no advantage compared to using a custom Wireguard configuration file.
If **all** of these conditions are met, please provide an answer for each of them.
## For OpenVPN
OpenVPN can be natively supported ONLY if one of the following can be provided, by preference in this order:
- Publicly accessible URL to a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers **and attach** an example Openvpn configuration file for both TCP and UDP; OR
- Publicly accessible URL to a zip file containing the Openvpn configuration files; OR
- Publicly accessible URL to the list of servers **and attach** an example Openvpn configuration file for both TCP and UDP
If the list of servers requires to login **or** is hidden behind an interactive configurator,
you can only use a custom Openvpn configuration file.
[The Wiki's OpenVPN configuration file page](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/openvpn-configuration-file.md) describes how to do so.
