Then, how can i set a default allow everything for each peer? Should i 
make a different tunnel for each peer?
But given your explanation i still feel that it is a bug that when an 
AllowIPs is declared with the addition of a second peer the declaration 
from the first peer gets erased ...
It should be either a global setting per tunnel OR an individual setting 
per peer (in which case it should stay set)

Thank you!!
