Proton recently released WireGuard support on Linux. While I really like it there's a small UI issue with the wifi icon. When connected to VPN it looks like unknown network(?). I have confirmed the issue on two laptops. Both running Fedora 40, KDE spin.
killswitch doesn't work with wireguard
Nice catch! I just checked the blog post about WireGuard on Linux and found this
Yes. WireGuard is fully integrated into our apps ..... This includes ..... kill switch, permanent kill switch (Windows) .....
It looks like kill switch doesn't work with WireGuard on Linux or has a UI glitch.
it doesn't work I can see the killswitch working it just kills the wireguard connection aswell
I have noticed a similar icon issue, where instead of the question mark the lock to show a secure/VPN network just does not appear sometimes. I check and see that apparently I am connected to the VPN, but for my own peace of mind I end up reconnecting over and over again, sometimes switching servers up, just to make the icon appear correctly.
