I have no desire to add complex ACL schemes inside WireGuard. Catering
to that kind of user demand inevitably results in a security disaster.
Network and firewall config is an administrative task. Be
administrator. If you want to do otherwise, you're free to run your
own service that listens for commands on a named pipe with whatever
ACLs you want. But the development of that kind of ACL'd backdoor is
up to you and your organization.
