# clear vpn-keys

## Syntax

```
clear vpn-keys
```

## Syntax Description

This command has no arguments.

## Defaults

## Usage Guidelines

This command is used to delete and regenerate the local Island’s public/private key pair used to establish secure connections with VPN peers.

Note that this will stop all communications with existing VPN peers until the new public key is provided to them. It will also prevent the mobile app from establishing a remote connection to the Island until it obtains the new public key, either by connecting via a LAN or by pasting the new public key in Tours. It will not affect the mobile app’s ability to connect directly via a local LAN.

## Examples

```
clear vpn-keys
```
