Hi all,
I'm trying to use my ProtonVPN connection but despite it is connected it is not working. When I navigate to https://ip.me/ it's always showing me my local IP and location.
I have installed and configured WireGuard base on the arch wiki page and the ProtonVPN guide to configure WireGuard
1. The wireguard conf file (downloaded from my protonVPN account):
[Interface]
# Key for linux-mesopotamia
# Bouncing = 2
# NetShield = 1
# Moderate NAT = off
# NAT-PMP (Port Forwarding) = off
# VPN Accelerator = on
PrivateKey = wN5*****************************************2Xf1w=
Address = 10.2.0.2/32
DNS = 10.2.0.1
[Peer]

PublicKey = MK34*************************************V0fHEwj4=
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
Endpoint = 195.181.167.193:518202. To connect I use the following command
sudo wg-quick up lx-mesopotamiaAnd the output is:
[#] ip link add lx-mesopotamia type wireguard
[#] wg setconf lx-mesopotamia /dev/fd/63
[#] ip -4 address add 10.2.0.2/32 dev lx-mesopotamia

[#] ip -4 rule add table main suppress_prefixlength 0
[#] sysctl -q net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1
[#] iptables-restore -n3. This are the logs

It looks like you have wg-quick, systemd-networkd, and NetworkManager all running at once. Systemd-networkd and NetworkManager do more or less the same thing, so they'll undo each other's work, and wg-quick does a small piece of what they do, so they can undo its changes as well. You should pick one of systemd-networkd/NetworkManager and remove the other (uninstall NetworkManager or disable systemd-networkd), then make sure you've disabled 'wg-quick@lx-mesopotamia.service' if you enabled it and reboot. Then:
-If you keep NetworkManager, follow this section: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WireGu … orkManager
-If you keep systemd-networkd, follow this section: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WireGu … d-networkd
Then see if that fixed it.
(Edited for clarity.)

Thank you very much SilenceUnderStars, it is working perfect right now.
I kept systemd-networkd and removed NetworkManager.
Cheers
