From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why is this needed? I have the minimal config for both server and client and smb and ssh bith work without issue.
Would you mind sharing the config (without keys)?
This is my first time using WG.
There is nothing special about the config, it's the most basic config you can have as shown in the example at the bottom of this page.

The part that was a bit complex is the 'server' setting. My server is on my router (opnsense) so you need to opnsense specific settings.
I suspect the reason you need the extra stuff is because of how the Debian server is setup so that stuff will vary if you ever try to run another 'server' node. (I put server in quotes because wireguard doesn't actually have server and client as a concept)
I believe it's automated.
The server/client thing always confused me.
