Is it possible to apply two profiles?

I have a case where my laptop can be at (my) home, at my parents' home or "outside". I can trigger the activity or inactivity of network interfaces depending on several criteria.

In addition to that, I can have a Wireguard VPN set up, in which case I just would like to change the DNS.

The ideal case would be a specific profile that, when matched, would make the changes. It would go in addition to the current profile. Is this possible?

The alternative is to clone existing profiles and to add the Wireguard condition, but this is not really scalable (any change in the base profile will need to be duplicated in the Wireguard ones). This is not the end of the world but the first solution would be more elegant I belive.

Re: Is it possible to apply two profiles?

By design, there can be only one current profile. We have done some experiments in the past with linked profiles instead, but they brought a complex layer with them (usability for an average user and especially for dealing with AutoSwitch) that did not justify including that feature in an official release.
At least you can quickly copy individual settings between profiles, so you can quickly duplicate settings from one profile to another.
