Vpn problems

[Borderedge]

Hi. I am new with qubes and I do not have much experience in linux. I have been trying to setup a vpn connection, but it has been impossible to make it work. I have the 4.2.1 version installed in an usb pendrive. I tried to setup a vpn using openvpn and wireguard on the sys-net. And it seemed that it worked because there was the locker icon on the wifi icon, but I could not get access to internet. Internet worked without problems when the vpn was disconnected, with both openvpn and wireguard. I created an specific qube for vpn, following one of the tutorial that I found here, but I got the same result. Internet worked untill I switched on the qube-vpn.
I created an specific opnsense qube, installing the software as a template,and I found that the program could not find the ip for the wan. So I could not finish the installation.
I have no idea how I can sort it out. It seems it is something about the wan conection or maybe I have more than one problem.

sys-net must be left alone with the network controller. If you want to use a VPN, create a new qube for this purpose.
You can follow this guide to create and configure a Wireguard qube:

Wireguard VPN setup

Good news, with fedora-38 the network manager supports Wireguard out of the box! The only thing required are extra firewall rules in the VPN qube, as explained in the community documentation about VPN. What you’ll need This guide assumes you are using a VPN service that has wireguard support, most of them do, but you can also add your own if you have a server. ProtonVPN has a free plan, it has limits but gives you a fully working VPN and they support WireGuard. This pro…

some VPN app offer specific features related to Wi-Fi (like enabling, or not, the VPN depending on the SSID), which could only be done in sys-net unfortunately.

Hi. I would like to let you know that i could solve the problem. After trying different methods. And following the tutorial recommended by DVM and developed by Solene. I have to admit that I could not solve it. Maybe it is the vpn which i use , i am not sure. But solene said that some vpn features can only be done is sys-net. So I set up a vpn connection in the sys-net using the gui by importing a file with my vpn features. It is not as safe as it is with the dedicated qube, but i could not do it in a different way.
