SUMMARY
A Wireguard VPN entry will not indicate it's connection correctly.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a functioning Wireguard entry.
2. Try to connect to it if you don't have an internet connection e.g. over LAN or Wifi.

OBSERVED RESULT
Your "connected" in every case even if you don't have any physical connection active.

EXPECTED RESULT
Something like "connection not possible" or "not connected because of ..."

As far as NetworkManager is concerned you are successfully connected to the Wireguard network. Whether or not you have a connection to the "Internet" isn't relevant there.

If NetworkManager doesn't report any errors there's nothing for us to display here
