Multiple peers

[Tim Sedlmeyer]

Another option instead of using the iptables rule is to create a
network namespace
and assign the wireguard interface to it.

ip netns add mesh
ip link add wg0 type wireguard
ip link set wg0 netns mesh
ip -n mesh addr add x.x.x.x/24 dev wg0
ip netns exec mesh wg setconf wg0 /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
ip -n mesh link set wg0 up

I prefer this because it isolates any mesh network routing and firewall
configuration from that of the physical interfaces of the hub server.
You don't have to
worry about a routing or firewall misconfiguration on the hub leading
to the traffic from
the vpn network going on to the hub server's underlying network.

Also if you want to provide a service to the VPN network from the
server you can run
the process in the mesh network namespace or inside a container with
only an interface
in the mesh namespace available to it.
