launching wireguard with a keybining in I3

i'm trying to use some keybinding to start my wireguard vpn, so I've used the following:

bindsym Ctrl+$alt+o exec --no-startup-id wg-quick down wg0 || wg-quick up wg0

but nothing seems to happen, I've also tried to set the suid bit to wg-quick, but still no luck.after reading that ||might cause some issue, i've also tried only the first part

bindsym Ctrl+$alt+o exec --no-startup-id wg-quick down wg0

with and without --no-startup-id but with no luck.Any ideas?
