Control WireGuard with Macros

[OpulentHaven]

Since v5.37.x, you can control WireGuard directly from MacroDroid.
A sample macro is attached.

Still doesn't work for me.. I added the macrodroid wireguard permission as well as enabling the option in Wireguard. I'm on Android 10.

We have confirmed that it works on Android 10.
If you can't get it to work, you are most likely missing some setting.
Please read the thread carefully and try it by trial and error.

Was not apparent to me that "tunnel_name" was a local variable. I was replacing "tunnel_name" with my tunnel name directly. Now it worked right away. Thanks!

I'm a little confused on how to set up the variable for the macros on the first page. Could anybody help me with that? Thank you.

Macro Send Intent for WireGuard
"Target":"Broadcast"
"Action":"com.wireguard.android.action.SET_TUNNEL_UP",
"PackageName":"com.wireguard.android",
"ClassName":"com.wireguard.android.model.TunnelManager$IntentReceiver",
"Extra 1 Name" :"tunnel"
"Extra 1 Value": "YOUR_TUNNEL_NAME"

I'm on a pixel 8 running android 14. I can't see to get this to work. I have no issue with Tasker controlling it but can't get macrodroid to do it. See configuration screen shots. Thanks

@mjruotolo
You are looking at outdated information.
Now you can control WireGuard directly, so the package names are different.

What do you mean directly. Do you have an example of a macro?

Sample macros are also available.
If you read the thread carefully, you should be able to figure it out on your own.
