Ok. Thanks for a tip. However I still think wireguard looses some
flexibility in that way eg. when peer roams from one network to another
then its ip address may be unknown.



No, wrong. Roaming regards external IP. Allowed IPs regards internal tunnel
IPs, which are static.


Anyway, it is not only about roaming case so if it is not much of a work
and if it is not a security problem then please consider to allow multiple
wg interfaces to work on one port. I hope it won't hurt to allow this
functionality and I am sure it might come handy for some admins in the
wild. Maybe it could be implemented in pair with the idea of refactoring
per interface vs per peer private keys? Hope you will consider it at some
point.


No, you are very mistaken. Please reread the docs on allowed ips keeping in
mind that these concern internal tunneled ips and are static. Typing to you
on my phone so can't write more now.


Best Regards.
Damian.
