Request: Add a GUI Option to Switch Between OpenVPN and WireGuard

Recommended Posts

I'm using the portable Linux version on Debian 12. I spent about an hour fighting with Eddie today trying to upgrade to the latest version. It turned out that it wasn't connecting to a server because it was defaulting to WireGuard whereas the old version I was using defaulted to OpenVPN. I had to dig in to the configurations to find that there is a command-line option '--mode.type="openvpn"'  . This should be an obvious GUI option to avoid users the headache.
Also, I'm not sure why WireGuard isn't working, but I don't see it bundled in the portable zip, that could be the reason?

It.. is? Change the protocols in Preferences > Protocols.

How am I supposed to edit this? If I uncheck "Automatic" all I can seem to be able to do is to highlight individual rows, but there aren't any other options. Drag, Right click, middle click, double click, del button don't do anything.

Thank you! Apologies for coming off so daft... I was expecting to be able to order them by preference.
Turns out now that I have openvpn in the launch script that's the reason I'm not able to save the setting to Wireguard when highlighting, but I can still switch between the various openvpn protocols. Likewise if I launch Eddie without the commandline option I am able to specify the protocol. Edited ... by lviv10025
