I run into this from time-to-time when I reinstall my system, or otherwise muck up NetworkManager such that I need to setup my #Wireguard #VPN again.
Here's how to import your already built Wireguard config into NetworkManager so you can use the GUI applet for switching it on/off:
$ sudo nmcli connection import type wireguard file /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
#gnu #linux #networking
