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?

    GNOME got proper Wireguard support in version 44, unfortunately Debian stable ships an outdated version (43).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.
