10 nmtui can't use the built-in wireguard functionality (I don't think it
11 shows 'virtual' connections, of which wireguard is one). previously,
12 with the masked package, wireguard showed up as a vpn type connection.
13
14 nmcli can manage the connection though (and nm-connection-editor from
15 nm-applet can edit connections for those wanting a gui).
16
17 That said, now that I'm on a roll I'm going to complain that nm-applet
18 has no native wayland version still :P
