Alert on no VPN handshake (lemmy.world)

I self host a wireguard VPN at my home. I use the official wireguard app to connect on my android.

Is there a way to be notified if my phone can't complete a handshake in 10 minutes or something?

I thought of using uptime kuma to send me a telegram notification if I disappear, but in the case of a power outrage or internet outtage (only at home) then this would be useless.

Is there anything that can do this on my phone with minimal battery usage?

I just tried adding a native VPN and there's no option to use Wireguard

Same. Might be confused because the WireGuard app does integrate with the settings menu, but it still uses the app under the hood. In the case of WireGuard's UI, it basically looks like a settings page, so when you go to Settings -> Network -> VPN -> WireGuard, it feels as if you never left settings.

There's basically no point baking WireGuard support in the ROM as you'll just end up duplicating the WireGuard app anyway.

Sorry, you're right. It's been so long that I've installed the app and always went via system settings that I've incorrectly assumed it was native.
