New User: WireGuard > Error: Failed to start: not running

[b0n 0]

I decided to move over to AirVPN from Nord because of consistent and constant issues.
I installed Eddie, I have WireGuard installed.
I am unable to connect to ANY server, as I see the issue "WireGuard > Error: Failed to start: not running"
I have looked for the same error, only to find a single post with no responses from 2023.
https://airvpn.org/forums/topic/56687-wireguard-error-failed-to-start-not-running/

I have tried different protocols, allowing v4 & v6, read the FAQ, read LZ1's "Guide To Getting Started + Links For Advanced Users" and done due diligence checking other posts.
To clarify: I also was unable to connect via OpenVPN options, however that would be a different topic.

I would appreciate any assistance.

Same issue. I also come from nord as well.

I may try a VM soon with no vpn ever previously installed. Will report back if i hear anything back from support, or if the VM connection worked.
