For ProtonVPN as an example: you can go to the downloads section and download the wireguard config you want and then import it from the wireguard gui.

For me, I would never use other inferior VPN clients after knowing how efficient, supported and developed are the official Wireguard gui are.

Other providers who provide configs:

    How likely are vpn (mullvad) configs to change over time? Will I end up having to constantly update them, which is something I assume the native app will do.

    Secondly, do the wire guard tools include things like a killswitch on disconnect so I don’t accidentally send traffic if I get disconnected (eg when the VPN node I’m connected to goes down for maintenance)

      I was using mullvad a couple years ago. Configs didn’t change often, I updated it once or twice a year or whenever the old one stopped working.

      They did have a “killswitch” type option available, I think. But it didn’t seem really useful since normally when wireguard fails (on linux at least) it does not “disconnect” — it just stops any traffic getting through until it’s working again.
