[SLOVED] Mullvad Vpn Configuration (iwd, systemd-networkd/resloved)

Confused on setting  up Mullvad VPN with systemd-networkd and wireguard.

Important file to this situation:

"/etc/iwd/main.conf"                                                    (iwd config file)
"/etc/systemd/network/25-wireless.network"  (network connection for my wireless device using iwd)
"/etc/systemd/resloved.conf"

Contents contained within said files:

/etc/iwd/main.conf

[Network] 
NameResolvingService=systemd

[Scan]
DisablePeriodicScan=true

/etc/systemd/network/25-wireless.network

[Match]
Name=wlan0

[Network]
DHCP=yes

/etc/systemd/resloved.conf

Default config file with no changes.

What I have done so far successfully:
Use wireguard to create a private key,
Downloading vpn config file from Mullvad for wireguard

What I am confused on:
where can I find my listening port for my system?
how do I set up my .netdev and .network file to have networkd connect to the vpn.
I have read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … d-networkd and tried to set up with just 2 peers (my system and vpn server), however it fails to connect to the internet.

Any help will be appreciated

SLOVED

You don't need to set up networkd after all.

Here are my steps:

    First, Download the config file from mullvad for wireguard.

    Second, download wireguard-tools & systemd-resolvconf from the arch repo

    Move the config file to the wireguard directory in /etc/wireguard/

    Third, run as root, wg-quick up {config-file} #(DO NOT place the suffix .conf) example:

 wg-quick up mmlvd-usXX 

This should set up your connection to the vpn server.
