wg addconf :: AllowedIPs gets deleted with the additions of peers

Hi, Adrian!

The reason you can't have the _same_ AllowedIPs for two different peers is because that's what's used to set the routes.  How can you set two different routes for the same destination?

So, because you're trying to set 0.0.0.0/0, there can only ever be one peer at the end of that route.

What you need to do is set a more precise range for the AllowedIPs.  For example, 192.168.100.0/24 and 192.168.101.0/24 (for two hosts on different networks), or 192.168.88.200/32 and 192.168.88.201/32 (for two hosts on the same network).

Then if you want one host that just *everything else* tunnels through, you can set a 0.0.0.0/0 - which behaves as your default route.

Hope that helps  :)

Eric
