This is a general Disclaimer for everyone trying to install Algo in censorship prone areas that the Wireguard protocol is often blocked. So performance issues are to be expected. Try manual ikev2 or other VPN installations.

The VPN behaves similar to the problem described in #1586

How is manual ikev2 different from the one installed by algo?

Algo installs two protocols only. Wireguard and ikev2. You can read up more abt the differences between the two.
In the config folder, at the end of successful installation, you'll find 3 sub-folders.
The "Apple" folder generates an iOS-compatible profile(s) which makes use of native Ikev2/IPsec capabilities of iPhones.
The "wireguard" folder generates qr codes. It uses specifically the wireguard protocol only.
Lastly the "manual" folder, has client certificates for each user as well as one certificate-authority certificate. Import those into Strongswan or any other app of your choice, to use ikev2 protocol on Android.

#1743 After installation I only have a .p12 file but the guide said I need .crt and .key to manually install the ipsec. So how should I generate these two files from .p12?

You have to redo your install of Algo. Key is displayed at the end of installation only and never again. So make sure to take note of it then

Same for me (Egypt). Suddenly most of clients (Same ISP) stopped working after working fine for around 5 months.
But i have seen a strange behavior which is if i started a working VPN (Hotspot shield for ex) on my windows machine then go to my debian vm installed on vmware workstation (Using Natting network setting) and started wireguard client the client connects successfully and started working fine even i've stopped the windows VPN client.
So I'm asking for any tips to bypass the handshaking dropping issue i got when using wireguard on windows if there is any

Could this method be automated ?
