I want to import my vpn.conf file using nmcli and set autoconnect to 0, otherwise it defaults to 1

Apparently the correct way is by specifying --autoconnect=false flag, but this results in error.

nmcli connection import file vpn.conf type wireguard --autoconnect=false

Error: invalid extra argument '--autoconnect=false'

I am aware I can run a second command after, but this is extraneous, it should be settable upon import and saves running multiple commands

nmcli con mod <con> connection.autoconnect no

  • According to whom is that the correct way? The man-page doesn't mention it, and that agrees with the error message. Commented Feb 8 at 3:47
  • @tink perplexity.ai - Wont be using that again, aside from that, it sounded like a rational flag, it appears two commands have to be done to unset an automatic value from the first Commented Feb 8 at 5:27
  • Indeed. Two commands. And if you put that in a script it's not too bad. That's the problem with AIs, they don't have knowledge, the know what sounds good ;D Commented Feb 8 at 5:33
