Worth noting, it doesn't like long .conf filenames. If you get an error that the file can't be found when importing, try shortening the filename.

I think it expects you to use a standardized device name structure such as wg0 however it doesn't exactly (or rather clearly) enforce this, and it tries to name the new device whatever the file is named during the import step.

This problem is somewhat compounded by VPN providers, who often generate some long filename when you export a WG config.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
