I recently upgraded from linux mint 21.0 to 21.3. After upgrading Networkmanager has seem to imported my existing wireguard connections (*/etc/wireguard/wg0.conf*) which results in it being displayed in the tray icon. This results in not seeing if I am connected to a wifi or previously if I am connected to a vpn.
I tried the following:
1 Removing the connection
nmcli connection delete wg0
2 Add the following to */etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf*
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=interface-name:wg0
After a restart the wg0 connection reappears in the tray icon.
I bring up my wg0.conf via a systemd unit file and I don't want Networkmanager to manage or display my wireguard connections.
How to accomplish this?
