No, you're doing it wrong. Those monitoring use cases you mentioned
are already taken care of by the existing design. If you need help
with a particular configuration or setup, you're free to ask about
those particular use cases. But what you've asked so far simply isn't
the WireGuard way of doing things; we offer here a better design than
that.

Then either you're doing things horribly wrong, or WireGuard isn't the
tool for you. AllowedIPs is the essential concept.
If you have questions about how to reach a particular goal, we can
help you. But I believe this particular conversation has reached a
dead end.
