How to stop wireguard vpn from auto connecting at startup?

Site Feedback
1

I’ve imported a wireguard profile from mullvad, and it always auto-connects at startup. I don’t want this behavior, but when I try to remove my check from the “connect automatically with priority 0” box in system settings, it doesn’t prompt me to apply the setting, and it continues happening.

How do I stop it from doing this?

This is a bug.

In the meantime, you can disable autoconnect using nmcli by entering this command in the terminal:

# nmcli con mod <connection name> connection.autoconnect no

I’m on Fedora KDE and I have the same issue. Seems, the bug is still not fixed.

I am on Bluefin (Fedora Atomic (40) + GNOME)

It is also happening

I had the same issue on Kubuntu 24.10, KDE Plasma 6.1.5 & KDE Frameworks 6.6.0. Running the nmcli command helped. Thank you very much!

Yep. Still happening to me on plasma 6.

Update 2024-04-23, release date of Fedora 40: not fixed yet

Seems fixed for me now as of Plasma 6.0.4 on F40 Kinoite

Thanks for notifying me, but I unfortunately still experience it today 2024-04-29 on Fedora 40 with KDE Plasma 6.0.4…, all packages of course upgraded.

I still have the bug too

I was mistaken at the time, still broken for me too

Same for me with gnome, so I don’t think it’s related to KDE in any way. More like NM I guess.
