MacOS IPv6 not functioning without custom static route

Are you sure that private IPs get routed through WG while AllowedIPs is 
"0.0.0.0/0, ::/1, 8000::/1"? I have just tried to ping my local router 
whilst connected to a tunnel with "0.0.0.0/0, ::/1, 8000::/1" and didn't 
have a problem.

I mean, the way which makes sense is that AllowedIPs should work with 
your configuration and we wouldn't even have this conversation, however 
there are some things awkwardly different on the MacOS version from the 
GNU/Linux versions of WG client(s), so I think it might help to try 
every variation.

Best,
Berkay
