WireGuard

Probably again for just future me, Make sure the following packages are installed apt install wireguard wireguard-tools resolvconf

For not entering the password every times you want to connect or disconnect, replace in ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/wireguard@nicoulaj.net/applet.js 'pkexec' by 'sudo' line 123 : replace : ``` ['pkexec', 'wg-quick', enable ? 'up' : 'down', iface], ``` by : ``` ['sudo', 'wg-quick', enable ? 'up' : 'down', iface], ``` Then in sudo visudo add this line : with no empty line : ``` # Allow members of group sudo to execute any command %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL YOUR_USER_NAME ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/wg-quick # See sudoers(5) for more information on "@include" directives: ``` Replace YOUR_USER_NAME by your username or ALL ######################## The config files need to be in /etc/wireguard/ (e.g /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf) as @ziogref said And you must let access for reading to your username to the folder wiregard ######################## Finnaly restart Cinnamon to make it works

Wireguard config files need to be in /etc/wireguard/ (e.g /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf) Probably for future me, but this is where the plugin looks for the wireguard profiles.

Hello, glad to find this! Would you consider adding an option enabling to launch a given config automically at startup ?

I couldn't get this to work either, but If you only have one vpn you can use the applet "Bash Sensors" instead. Since wg-quick needs sudo, I added the following line with visudo: ALL ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/wg-quick Warning: This is a huge security risk! Since wg_quick a bash script, you're giving root access to anyone who can edit it. I used these settings for Bash Sensors: - Refresh interval: 10 sec - Shell: sh - Command 1: echo '' - Two-line mode: Off - Dynamic icon: On - Cmd: ls /sys/class/net | grep <wg config name> > /dev/null && echo "<path to On icon>" || echo "<path to Off icon>" Note: PNG's can be used for icons. These are the ones I used: https://findicons.com/files/icons/1933/symbols/128/green_light.png https://findicons.com/files/icons/1933/symbols/128/red_light.png - Dynamic tooltip: On - Cmd: ls /sys/class/net | grep <wg config name> > /dev/null && echo "<wg config name>: UP" || echo "<wg config name>: DOWN" - Menu command (on applet left-click): ls /sys/class/net | grep <wg config name> > /dev/null && sudo wg-quick up <wg config name> || sudo wg-quick down <wg config name> - Display output: Off My config for the lazy (~/.cinnamon/configs/bash-sensors@pkkk/45.json): https://pastebin.com/KqQQNcJc

Hello everytime my kernel updates your extension breaks it seems it has to do with the name of the updated file i was wondering if you can update this applet to detect those changes
