Explain me
It’s unexplainable

😡😡😡 take em down 😡😡😡I’m not even sure that’s a nonnative speaker thing, I’ve definitely heard native speakers say this.
It works like that in many languages, no “to” necessary. English needs many little words such as “to” and “of” and whatnot to connect things because it lacks cases
You are probably a boy. You either have a PP, or are storing PP for later use, or both; only you have this sacred knowledge.
Edit: the person to whom I am responding is literally named PP_BOY.
nmcli con import type wireguard file path_to_wireguard_config_file.conf
All hail the sacred command line.
Even Gnome natively supports Wireguard VPN client by default. There is also wireguard tools on apt. wg-quick up /path/to/conf
As a Linux nerd and Privacy/Open source advocate it’s tough to admit. But I can’t use DuckDuckGo. I work as a Linux Sysadmin and Google is the only search engine reliably returning good results (especially on more obscure topics). With DuckDuckGo I’ve often noticed that it will simply “drop” words from you search terms (i.e. if you search “yellow computer chair” it might just show you any kind of yellow chair or something like that) which makes it unusable for precise searches.
That’s so weird, I decided to completely drop Google as my primary a while back because by the end, the only search results I got was literally only spam and SEO spam/adware links on anything I ever searched. DDG didn’t have any of this. Could search how to do something on a Foss project running on my server and 80% of the results were spam links and the other weren’t even relevant to the search. For me Google took a shit, Bing was slow and DDG was just a good in-between.
you may want to try out kagi.
google get worse, because they have a strong incentive to deliver ads, and a weaker incentive to deliver good results (see Cory Doctorow). Kagi is a subscription service, so their only incentive is to deliver good results.
on HN there are regularly good discussions on the topic, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37852133
As far as the server goes, setting up wg-easy is pretty painless.
Istg ddg has some of the worst SEO hells imaginable. Worse than Googles.
What’s nm?
NetworkManager, presumably.
NetworkManager UI for most things to do with network on Linux
Kagi Quick Answer
To setup a WireGuard VPN client in Linux using NetworkManager (nm), there are a few steps:
Ensure you have the latest version of NetworkManager installed as older versions may not support WireGuard. According to result [1], NetworkManager version 1.26.2 or higher is required.
Obtain the client configuration file from your VPN provider or server administrator. This file will contain the connection details like the server endpoint IP/URL, listen port, public and private keys, and allowed IP ranges.
Import the client configuration file into NetworkManager. This can be done using the nmcli command line tool or the NetworkManager GUI. For example, using nmcli:
nmcli connection import type wireguard file /path/to/client/config.conf
Activate the WireGuard VPN connection. Using nmcli:
nmcli connection up id wireguard-client
You should now be connected to the VPN. You can verify the connection status and check that traffic is being routed through the VPN by pinging internal resources. The NetworkManager GUI provides an easy way to import and manage VPN connections without using command line commands. Results [2] and [3] provide a mapping of WireGuard client configuration file settings to the NetworkManager GUI advanced editor.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Language models are most useful when the search engines think they’re smarter than you
Late answer: this was the solution for me. Thx.
cp wg0.conf /etc/wireguard && wg-quick up wg0
I love the irony in that this is exactly what OP was saying they didn’t want.
I don’t know what you are talking about
Unless I’ve forgotten how this meme format works, OP was looking how to setup wireguard using NetworkManager, but DDG kept returning results on setting up a wireguard server. That link is a tutorial on setting up a wireguard server, and then connecting a peer using wg-quick (and not NetworkManager).
Yeah I do actually know exactly what you are talking about I’m just being Albert
