Comment on Famous VPN company Mullvald says it will no longer use OpenVPN

I’m using Bazzite Linux with KDE, and for me Wireguard setup is copy/pasting several bits of information on multiple screens. OpenVPN is just downloading a single config file and inputting my user/pass.

Also, Wireguard disconnects so often, no matter which distro I’m on, that it’s a pain in the butt having to reconnect a few times an hour.

Interesting, I also use KDE (on arch btw) and I definitely have had hour-long work session with ssh over a wireguard vpn to access my home PC from abroad, so I imagine the issue is probably not on the KDE side of the stack

  These immutable distros always create a thousand little problems like that.

    I don’t think it’s Bazzite, as it didn’t work on NixOS or Nobara either. It’s got to be something with my ISP, because as I said in my previous comment, it hasn’t worked over multiple distros.

Wireguard disconnects so often

Wireguard is udp, it never “connects”, there’s no session.

  Wireguard disconnects the WiFi.
  
  However, it has been pointed out to me that my problem was using the GUI for NetworkManager to add the VPN, which apparently is shit for Wireguard. I added the VPN using nmcli instead and so far it’s working as intended.
