New blogpost: "Bringing up a WireGuard tunnel automatically on boot using nmcli"
A blogpost basically to remind me of:
nmcli connection modify NAME connection.autoconnect yes

@neil If its any help, I do something similar, but with a script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d
My script additionally checks whether I'm on my home network, in which case it actively turns off the tunnel. But it means that, whenever I'm away from the home network. the tunnel always comes up.
Happy to post this somewhere if anyone's interested in the method.
@neil oh that is so much better than what I've done
@neil nmtui is also a great option to do this :)
