NetworkManager 1.16 got native support for WireGuard VPN tunnels. There is no menu item for adding a Wireguard tunnel in xfce. How do i fix it?

NetworkManager version 1.26.2 and higher, allows to create a WireGuard-type connection with GUI. Please update it.

Linux Mint 20.x releases are based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and that has Network Manager 1.22. If you need a newer Network Manager version on Linux Mint 20.x I would suggest asking for help with that on the support forums. There is a plugin that is reported to work (requires compiling it): https://github.com/max-moser/network-manager-wireguard. Linux Mint 21, expected around mid next year, will be based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and that will have at least Network Manager 1.32.
