We define the fundamental group underlying to Lichtenbaum's Weil-\'etale cohomology for number rings. To this aim, we define the Weil-\'etale topos as a refinement of the Weil-\'etale sites introduced in \cite{Lichtenbaum}. We show that the (small) Weil-\'etale topos of a smooth projective curve defined in this paper is equivalent to the natural definition given in \cite{Lichtenbaum-finite-field}. Then we compute the Weil-\'etale fundamental group of an open subscheme of the spectrum of a number ring. Our fundamental group is a projective system of locally compact topological groups, which represents first degree cohomology with coefficients in locally compact abelian groups. We apply this result to compute the Weil-\'etale cohomology in low degrees and to prove that the Weil-\'etale topos of a number ring satisfies the expected properties of the conjectural Lichtenbaum topos.
