Renaming WireGuard configurations

[soshial]

Using RethinkDNS to switch between WireGuard servers is quite inconvenient compared to the official WireGuard client, since there are no names. (Using *.conf filenames is the easiest solution, I think)

If you re-import the WireGuard configuration, you'd see Rethink uses names from the conf files now (started doing this in v055k, I think).

Today, there's no way to rename these configurations. May be we should implement that.

Cool! If it already uses filenames, then it's great. Not sure it's worth the effort renaming old ones (maybe you may show an info on that screen that it's possible to reimport those)

I am regularly checking for changelogs... It would be nice to those not only here, but also in fastlane folder for F-Droid.

We don't add every single change in changelogs, only the major ones. Best to look at the bugs we comment on or close after a release is done (usually, we close bugs after Play Store release).

It didn't even occur to us folks would import more than 3 WireGuard profiles :laughing:

I am not sure F-Droid picksup changelogs like before. I think we stopped doing those for a reason... May be we are mistaken.

Well, when I download a configuration list from my VPN provider, I get all servers. And WireGuard was so unstable (either mobile app or VPN provider server client), that my connection got dropped once per day or maybe even more often, so that I had to switch to other servers regularly. It was terrible 😆😆

I have just realized that I can't delete WireGuard configs neither 1-by-1, nor by selecting all of them.

Also, they got pretty crazy here — configs started to select and deselect on their own (without me clicking anything). Also, it writes status "ACTIVE", while RethinkDNS in not enabled and is paused.

Also, a couple of enhancements:

• it would be cool if the WireGuard config name would be seen on the Home screen
• the status of WireGuard does not refresh in real-time on the Home screen. It updates only when onResume() is called — user should see the status in reactive/rx manner.

Thank you!

Hi @soshial, can you let me know the version of Rethink you are using? You can find it at the bottom of the About screen.

[soshial]

I'm on F-Droid, so I'm a bit late from the latest update. I have this bug on 0.5.5m — it's my current version.

@soshial, This issue seems concerning; Simple mode should not allow more than one WireGuard instance.

• What happens when you click on the name of the WireGuard in Simple mode?
• Is this the behavior you have observed from the start?
• Can you fetch the adb logcat after setting Rethink to Very Verbose mode in Configure -> Settings -> Log Level?

have just realized that I can't delete WireGuard configs neither 1-by-1, nor by selecting all of them.

• You should be able to delete them 1-by-1 by tapping on corresponding entry (regardless of Simple/Advanced mode), which should bring up the WireGuard-details UI.
• Then, tapping on the delete icon (a dustbin / thrash can) shown next to its name in WireGuard-details UI.

Thank you, probably 2 "delete" icons confused me. I was able to delete them

BTW, it's not possible to open WireGuard configuration, when RethinkDNS is OFF (not in active state). Now I can.
