Portmaster works with wireguard native on Windows 11 but not on Linux

[vishnusudheendran]

What worked? Portmaster actually works with wireguard native client on Windows. Tested on Windows 11. Just uncheck "Block untunneled traffic (kill-switch)" option in wireguard tunnel edit window. When I uncheck it adds 128.0.0.0/1 to the AllowedIPs. Also remove the DNS entry from the wireguard config if you have activated "Secure DNS" in Portmaster.

What did not work? But on Linux, Portmaster doesn't work with wireguard. The internet will stop working unless you start portmaster after connecting to the VPN first. @Raphty @dhaavi Any fix coming soon for this? This is the only reason I don't install Portmaster in my Linux system. On Linux since there is no official wireguard GUI, not sure if there is an option to uncheck "Block untunneled traffic (kill-switch)" similar to windows. I tried adding 128.0.0.0/1 to AllowedIps and removing the DNS entry but didn't help, the internet will not work unless I shutdown Portmaster. I have attached debug info below.

Thanks for letting us know, we have VPN compatibility on the road map, but have not looked into it regarding specifics.

Thanks for letting us know that the native wgc works on windows, I think you have been the first one to report that.

@Raphty Hey, I think this is still relevant. I just realized that whenever Portmaster is started before WG, all networking completely dies. Did you guys make any changes, or could it be my config?
