If you were looking for something other then an openVPN based VPN. Take a look at Tailscale or https://github.com/firezone/firezone which run Wireguard... Tailscale is nice however you don't manage the control plane.

Wireguard GUI on Gnome
I used to use a neat little plugin - network-manager-wireguard to make my wireguard connections using the GUI under VPN connections. It's dead simple - create the profile and it shows up in the tool bar as a toggle switch. Unfortunately it breaks in network-manager v1.36 and above, so I've locked it to v1.34 . I make different wireguard connections daily so it's inconvenient to have to go into nmtui to make the connection if I go that route...

Unable to connect to wireguard VPN via KDE's NetworkManager
NetworkManager supports WireGuard natively. I wouldn't use the networkmanager-wireguard package, which is the VPN plugin (from https://github.com/max-moser/network-manager-wireguard). I would uninstall that.
