# Amnezia (no terminal)

> A personal VPN with no command line

Don't want to fuss with terminal commands? Amnezia VPN does it all for you. It's a desktop app: you enter the server details, and it logs in to your VPS over SSH on its own and installs and configures a VPN — without you typing a single command. It's essentially a graphical wrapper around the installation. Works with a Lumi VPS (Ubuntu or Debian, root over SSH).

<Note>
  The steps are current as of writing. The app's interface changes from time to time — check the official site [amnezia.org](https://amnezia.org) and the docs at [docs.amnezia.org](https://docs.amnezia.org).
</Note>

## How to set it up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the Amnezia app">
    Grab the client for your system (Windows, macOS, Linux) from [amnezia.org](https://amnezia.org). There are mobile versions too — for iOS and Android.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the server details">
    In the app, specify:

    * the **IP address** of your VPS (and the port, if SSH isn't on the standard 22);
    * the **username** — usually `root`;
    * the **password** or **SSH key**.

    You get the IP, login, and password from the server card in the [@lumivps\_bot](https://t.me/lumivps_bot) bot.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a protocol">
    Amnezia can install several protocols: **AmneziaWG**, WireGuard, OpenVPN, OpenVPN over Cloak, Shadowsocks, IKEv2, XRay Reality.

    In automatic mode it installs **AmneziaWG** — this is WireGuard with extra obfuscation that hides better from deep packet inspection (DPI) systems. The other protocols can be added later in the settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for the install to finish">
    The app logs in to the server and sets everything up itself. All you do is click a button and wait a couple of minutes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your devices">
    Once it's installed, you can connect other devices. Amnezia can share access in several ways:

        Scan it from your phone right in the app.

        Move it to another device and import it.
      </Card>

      <Card title="Text key" icon="key">
        Copy it and paste it into Amnezia on another device.

    </CardGroup>
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  You need a **clean server** (Ubuntu or Debian) with **root access**. It's best to install on a fresh VPS that doesn't yet have other VPNs or conflicting software — that way the install goes off without surprises.
</Note>

## Who it's for

* Beginners who don't want to dig into the command line.
* People who want a VPN "in a couple of clicks," but on their own server rather than someone else's service.
* People who care about resistance to blocking: the AmneziaWG protocol is built for exactly that.

This is a personal VPN for privacy and access to your own services — all traffic goes through your own server.

## What Lumi handles, and what you do

Lumi handles the server and network: the VPS is up, you have root access, and traffic is unlimited. Installing and configuring Amnezia is on you — the app runs on your side.

If a port won't open or the network won't come up, check the [Firewall (ufw)](/en/vps/firewall); if that doesn't help, message support at [@lumisup\_robot](https://t.me/lumisup_robot).
