Hello,

is there a way to do such a thing?
Thanks

P.S. I have ADB hacks but not root. Running Android 9 and Wireguard

"It should be correct; I do have a confirmation of activation. However, when I go into the settings, there is no change."

The app itself has to activate its VPN. I've never seen this setting start it, it could be that it just protects the selected VPN app from being killed.
However it is possible to enable wireguard through intents.

Control WireGuard with Macros

We share with you the "Tasker WireGuard Automation" application, which we have confirmed to work on Android 10. Please install and launch it and press the REQUEST PERMISSION button. Please use the previously uploaded macros. https://www.mediafire.com/file/2do38amp953it35/app-release.apk/file...

Hello, I wasn't able to make the intent work (first time for me) and I'm getting the following error:

MacroDroid: Send Intent Failed
No Activity found to handle Intent { act=com.wireguard.android.action.SET_TUNNEL_UP flg=0x10000000 }

What should I write in all these fields?

Have you tried the macro in the attached thread link from @Dimlos (not the image, the .macro file)?

Both applications need to be settings.
Also, the tunnel name needs to be set in a local variable.

Control WireGuard with Macros

Since v5.37.x, you can control WireGuard directly from MacroDroid. A sample macro is attached. That works! Thanks. After the update, I just needed to give Wireguard permission to communicate on the tunnel.
