    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.

        I got wireguard to connect! Thank you

        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.
