Hello

So I have a wireguard setup which I use to connect to my server.

But I do not connect to it daily, just once a in a while.

I have setup wg0.netdev file and wg0.network file and all is working
fine.

But how do I set it up such that interface wg0 does not connect
automatically but comes up only when I run:

#networkctl up wg0

Effectively I want wireguard to connect/disconnect on demand
Amish, I think you described your problem perfectly fine. It sounds like
you want to add:

[Network]
ActivationPolicy=manual

to your wg0.network file.

More info here:

...

Kind regards,
Alvin

So today, I upgraded to systemd 248 and this new feature (ActivationPolicy=) works just as I wanted.

Now I can trigger wireguard connection on demand instead of running it 24x7.

Thank you and regards,

Amish.
