How to import Wireguard VPN connection?

[GoGRaDaN]

As VPN, I use Wireguard on a Raspberry Pi (PiVPN), where i created a profile as *.conf file. But how or where can I import this configuration in Manjaro Gnome? There seems to be no Wireguard Client available in the standard repository…

Gnome GUI for wireguard

What is really missing is the option in the UI to import a Wireguard conf file (or scan a QR code with your webcam). Having to setup the Wireguard client config through the UI is quite an ordeal as you have to go through several tabs in the network settings to configure stuff. Also, the end result is not very satisfying as there is no way to start/stop the tunnel from the UI. Installing wireguard-tools, put the .conf file for your client in /etc/wireguard/ as wg0.conf and using wg-quick up wg0 …

It has an example how to import the .conf file

You can use the CLI:

sudo nmcli connection import type wireguard file <config_filename>

It seems to be working, except for the for the Extension. At least the traffic is no routed via PiVPN, I can see all the Blocks and so on. But in the indicator Extension, nothing is displayed as active, nor can i disable/enable a tunnel. But thats ok, i can use the command line.

I could be mistaken, but I thought wg-quick actually handles everything for you (the routing) while nmcli works differently and still requires you to configure stuff like routing.
