To be honest the problem is I’m trying to connect to the VPN provider I have with openvpn client. Im with windscribe, I get as far as importing the profile, attempting to start the service, entering the username and password for the VPN but the thing just won’t start.
Oh I see… I thought you wanted to set up your own VPN, as that’s the usual use case for a VPN (e.g. connecting to a home server while not at home).
Looks like Windscribe have a Wireguard config generator so you could try that. https://windscribe.com/getconfig/wireguard. I don’t have an account so I can’t try it, but it may just generate a regular Wireguard config you can use with Wireguard directly, without having to use their app.
The problem is now all my port forwards stopped working for accessing services via my external IP so I guess there is some kind of firewall going on via wireguard.
