Wireguard is a comtemporary in-Kernel layer 3 VPN protocol implementation which aims to provide fast and secure tunnels. The following options allow to set up Wireguard VPN tunnels.

A Wireguard VPN tunnel with explicit configuration file specified auto wg-foo iface wg-foo wireguard-config-path /etc/wireguard/foo.conf # address 192.0.2.23/42 address 2001:db8::23/64 A Wireguard VPN tunnel with implicit configuration file: auto wg-bar iface wg-bar use wireguard # address 192.0.2.23/42 address 2001:db8::23/64

interfaces-wireguard-quick(5)

wireguard-config-pathpath Denotes the absolute path to the Wireguard configuration file. If no path is given, /etc/wireguard/<interface>.conf will be used. In the latter case usewireguard has to be explicitly set to the interface configuration. Be aware that the given configuration file will be loaded using wgsetconf and not with wg-quick. The file format for both tools isn't compatible so you have to make sure you provide a valid configuration file for the wg tool. If you already have a configuration file for wg-quick you can set up the tunnel manually once and then dump the configuration using wgshowconf and save this to path.
