WireGuard-State

System tray icon for WireGuard VPN

Simple utility for control WireGuard VPN (check/enable/disable) by system tray icon. Tested on Ubuntu 21.04 only.

Installation

1. Since You don't want to run it as root, You could delegate some work to Network Manager (It supports WireGuard since 1.26.2). So, You can create and configure a WireGuard network connection by nm-connection-editor (see details here)
2. Download last release archive and unpack it
3. Check config file wgs.yaml. It contains bash-script commands to control VPN. Adjust it, if needed: provide actual Network Manager connection id (by default, wg0) for wgUpCommand, wgDownCommand and WireGuard interface name (usually, wg0) for wgStateCommand, rxCommand and txCommand. Or, You can write own completely different commands, if You use different Linux distributive
4. Run it.
