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:
Activate the WireGuard VPN connection. Using nmcli:
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.
