After lot of few testings, I think the problem is elsewhere. Setup of 
the server:

. eth0 with one public ipv4 IP and ipv6 /64

. 2 tunnels (one gre, one sit), each of them having one ipv4 and one 
ipv6 /64. They take care on trafic from/to our /48 ipv6 range

. 2 tun openvpn interfaces for customers with ipv6 address from our /48 
range

. wireguard interface with ipv6 address from our /48 range

Using tcpdump -i any I see the trafic coming to the gre interface and 
that's all. But netstat show

udp6       0      0 :::12345 :::*                                
0          125391     -

and ps aux output is

dh at peech:~$ ps ax|grep wg
    6969 ?        I<     0:00 [wg-crypt-wig4to]
    7026 ?        I      0:00 [kworker/1:2-wg-kex-wig4tootai]

Question: is wireguard really listening on all ipv6 addresses ? If not, 
how is the address choosen ?

[...]

Thanks for your help
