All of a sudden my vpn is now named wg tunnel

All of a sudden my vpn is now named wg tunnel. It used to be named NortonVPN in my network connections center. I thought Norton didn't use Wire Guard? Has my pc been hacked?

No. You have not been hacked. Norton is moving to the Wire Guard for their VPN offerings. So far it appears it can provide better through put. Not sure what other benefits are there.

Since this upgrade from Norton   SecureVPN to wgTunnel, all I am getting is "System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found."
This was working perfectly well until this latest upgrade of your code.
I looked at the "Split Tunnel" option but it only permits it for EXE files (apps), not intranet addresses (10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x) ranges.
Now I have to switch off my VPN to be able to access my NAS box, or to run a drive mapping via a batch file.
I need a solution, please.

I keep getting errors all the time, have had issues with my printer and have issues with it interfering with my work computer as well. Is there any way to go back to VPN I had before??  This really sucks and I don't have time to search for answers all day. Took me forever to get my printer to work!!! Not happy at all, Norton!

My solution?   De-installed the Norton VPN on my server and all clients - everything just went back to normal with no further work at all...
