On Catalina, just like with 2.24.4, 2.24.5 won't connect to a server.  I just get an endless loop of connecting, disconnecting and restart in 3 seconds when choosing to Automatically connect to a server.  When I look at preferences there is no Wireguard under Protocols.

Please cause the endless loop, and Log > Lifebelt > "Upload to paste url" and paste here, thx.

Both problem are the SAME problem. Please cause the endless loop, and Log > Lifebelt > "Upload to paste url" and paste here, thx.

The "Upload to paste url" funcftion does not work (at least for me) in the latest beta - not sure if this is something local or a general problem. See screenshot for reference.

Anyway, I copied the logs to Pastebin myself: https://pastebin.com/XXPjsNqM

spinmaster, I guess we're out of luck.  Hopefully they're just on vacation.

Got to be patient, if it cannot be reproduced and you and me are the only ones reporting this issue ... tricky. I am in touch with Clodo and did another test with a custom Eddie build - hopefully this provides some more debug information so that the cause for that loop can be found.

I just use 2.24.2 for now.  Interesting that we have the same problem yet we are running completely different versions of Mac OS.

MacOS Ventura 13.7.2 on M2 here. Eddie 2.24.5 is having issues with Wireguard for me too. Sometimes Eddie gets disconnected and goes into an endless loop of trying to connect.

Well, since multiple Users have reported this "loop issue" on multiple macOS Versions, I'm not sure if is related to macOS at all. If you can confirm that it does not occur on the 2.24.2 beta and at least on 2.24.4 ongoing the issue seems to be in place: @Clodo did something change in the Eddie codebase regarding the initial Network connection between 2.24.2 and >=2.24.4?

With "issues with Wireguard" you mean that this protocol is not available in the Settings - Protocol screen? Clodo had confirmed some days ago, that this is related to the "loop issue" (basically a follow-up issue due to the initial loop-bug ... at least this is how I understood it). You are speaking of "Sometimes Eddie ... goes into an endless loop": does this mean in some cases you can establish a connection on 2.24.5 and not getting stuck in this loop?

Majority of times Eddie connects fine but when it suddenly drops connection it can sometimes go into an endless loop. Sometimes it gets stuck on disconnecting and will not respond. The only way to fix it is to force kill Eddie. This can lead to more network problems requiring MacOS to be rebooted to fix it. Quite frustrating.

Last night I got so annoyed I uninstalled Eddie 2.24.5 and installed WireGuard client from Apple Store. It's been very stable so far.

I am fine on 2.24.2 but had the loop on 2.24.4 and 2.24.5 with Wireguard missing as a protocol as well.  I don't have any other VPN or anti-virus installed.
