Tunnel connects automatically at system start

[nrgeen]

First of all, thank you very much for the great extension. I use it almost every day and I am happy about the ease of use.

In my daily use, however, I notice one negative point. As soon as I start the computer, my Wireguard tunnel connect automatically. I would like to deactivate this. Is that possible?

If so, I would like to have a switch with which I can set whether the tunnel should be set up automatically after system start-up or not.

You can turn off the autoconnect in two different way.

You can use a gui call nm-connection-editor

You can start it from terminal with

$ nm-connection-editor

You will see the wireguard tunnel in the bottom of the connections. Double click on the wireguard tunnel and in the General tab uncheck: connect automatically with priority

Other way is through the network-manager cli.

Open a terminal and type

$ nmcli connection modify connection.autoconnect no

You can use tab to autofill.

Eventually I will try to have the extension disable autoconnect by default. Just not there yet.

Sorry I missed something nmcli connection modify name-of-your-wiregaurd-tunnel connection.autoconnect no

Sorry this took a while but it been added. Wireguard connection when added from a configuration file using the extension will have autoconnect enabled. It will autoconnect when you load the configuration file but will not autoconnect at system start.

Hope this help.

Im waiting for the version 10 to be approved by gnome-extensions and it should be good.
