Network Connection Sharing Adapter Issue

[lxluxo23]

Hello everyone, it turns out I had a WireGuard server on a Windows machine inside my house. I configured everything as it should be, created the users and everything else. I could even connect from my cell phone and another device outside the network. Everything was going well until unexpectedly I had to restart my computer where I had the WireGuard server. Now, it's not working anymore and I'm encountering the following error:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

'Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how can I resolve it? I really need help, the VPN was working quite well.

Hi @lxluxo23! This sounds very much like the known issue documented in the README. Sometimes the adapter gets stuck in a bad state and there's no other way to fix it other than removing the Internet Connection Sharing from within the adapter properties in Windows.

Can you try the workaround here? https://github.com/micahmo/WgServerforWindows#known-issues
