More than one profile for Wireguard conf file generation

Hi,

 

The wireguard conf file is working well but it seems that it can only be active on a single device at a time. Using the same conf file on different devices simultaneously leads to multiple disconnects and reconnects. How can we generate a second wireguard conf file that will work independent of the first conf file?

My VPN subscription is for 5 devices but most of my devices are linux based so the official Kaspersky application is not supported and I have to rely on the witreguard conf instead.

Hello @vrn99

Welcome back!

  1. The only option unfortunately, is purchase a second subscription & ->IF this was *our* problem - for the second subscription, we'd use a different subscriber email as well. 

Thank you?

I'm sorry but what you have said makes absolutely no sense, I am still the sole user of the devices. By providing two individual wireguard conf files it would take up two device slots out of the available 5 under the same user account.

Hello @vrn99

Thank you for posting back!

  1. The *subscription* is for *one* user - that equals one user account for the configuration file & one user  account for *all* devices. 
  2. The number of devices greater than one is irrelevant IF the *subscription* is for *one* user.
  3. *The *same* user account cannot have more than one user profile to generate a configuration file*
  4. It's clearly shown on the product page & the shopping cart. 
  5. There's no option to *invite* a second user, i.e. add a second user account & generate a second configuration file. 

Thank you?

Again this argument makes absolutely zero sense, sounds like you are just working backwards to justify an existing limitation of the system being able to generate a single conf file per user account. If we work on the assumption that as a *SINGLE* user I have a subscription for 5 devices, I see no actual reason why generating upto 5 configuration files should not be allowed as it would be used for 5 devices that I own myself, besides the apparent reason of how the system is currently structured to only provide a single conf file.

In any case my post was not meant to debate the interpretation of user vs device but to ask if multiple wireguard conf file generation was a possibility in the future.

Hello @vrn99

  1. It's not an argument, it's a fact -> based on facts, those are: (you've) purchased a *single* USER account subscription, for 1 year, for 5 devices. 
  2. The *subscription* is for one USER *account*  - generating the configuration file is based on the USER account  - not on the number of devices. The *subscription* has no facility to be shared with more USERS. Generating a second config file requires a second USER profile. That's not possible as the *subscription* is for a *single* USER. 
  3. No, not as long as the *subscription* is for a single user. 

Please share the outcome with the Community, when it's available? 
Thank you?

Could you please submit a ticket to dev team to add "VPN for routers" per subscription? Because it's quite stupid limitation. I just bought a second subscription for my parents and figured out that I can't get a new configuration.

So, now I'd to terminate a new subscription, create a another account to just get a second configuration!
