Wireguard not connecting anymore

[cipolla]

hello
maybe since a kernel update, wireguard VPN is not connecting anymore.
Has anyone else experiencing issues with wireguard?

thanks

No, it is still working fine for me. I’m using a config file generated from Mullvad’s site, so I am not sure if our situations’ are similar.

@cipolla which provider? I use azire and they changed all of the names of the nodes, didn’t tell me, left me going around in circles…

[cipolla]

thanks a lot, I had not thought about it
I’m using azire too
undervalued VPN in my opinion, not included in a lot of tests. and I prefer it over mullvad

You might like this:

#!/bin/bash
echo -e '\033[?47h' # alternate screen
clear

x=$(sudo wg | grep -i azire | tuc -d ' ' -f 2)

function normal_screen () {
   echo -e '\033[?47l' # normal screen
}

## Doesn't need to be too complicated!
if [[ $1 == "uk" ]]; then
    if [[ ${#x} > 0 ]]; then
	#killall running.bin
	#killall mytray.bin
	echo StringL ${#x}
	wg-quick down $x
	exit
   fi   
    wg-quick up azirevpn-gb-lon
    ~/scripts/wireguard/running.bin&
    normal_screen
   exit
fi

function disconnect(){
    trash-put ~/.flags/az.flag
    #killall mytray.bin &> /dev/null
    wg-quick down $x &> /dev/null
    ~/scripts/wireguard/mytray.bin &
    echo "Stopped Wireguard"
}

function connect() {
   touch ~/.flags/az.flag
   #killall mytray.bin &> /dev/null
   #wg-quick up $vpn2 &> /dev/null
   echo $(date) >> ~/wireguard.log
   ~/scripts/wireguard/mytray.bin &
   echo "Started Wireguard"    
}


if [[ ${x:0:5} = "azire" ]]; then
   gum confirm --selected.background="#0000ff" "Connected to $x, disconnect?"
   if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
      disconnect 
   else
      echo "You are already connected to $x, exiting. re-run script & answer Yes"
      normal_screen 
      exit
   fi
fi

normal_screen

It selects and launches wireguard - requires gum, tuc and fzf to all in repo or aur. Oh and two scripts for a tray icon (not neccessary).
