Hello again :)
I’m not talking about a broken wg connection, everything works as expect through the CLI and systemctl.
But the NetworkManger GUI in Gnome shows my Wireguard connection as it was “not connected” and when I click on the switch it actually disconnects my wg interface.
Also when I try to edit my connection through
nmcli connection modify wg0 connection.autoconnect yes
and restart my wireguard connection with
systemctl restart wg-quick@wg0
It recreates a new wireguard interface.
While everything works as expected with the usual tools (wg-quick, systemctl…) the GUI seems “broken”.
Someone else noticed or is this somehow related to my setup?
Debian 12 bookworm
Gnome
nmcli tools 1.42.4
GNOME got proper Wireguard support in version 44, unfortunately Debian stable ships an outdated version (43).
In that case you should ignore the interface in networkmanager (set it as unmanaged) and add one of the wireguard gnome shell extensions i think. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3612/wireguard-indicator/
