Hi Jason,

Thank you for your prompt response.

We are trying to use wgctrl way of configuring the wireguard devices
and facing issues while creating/configuring the wireguard device on
windows.

1) First problem was while creating the wintun device using wintun.dll
and using wgctrl for configuring it.  It hangs in
wgclient.ConfigureDevice api()

2) So tried to first create the device through wireguard.exe. And then
used wgctrl way to configure it, but wgClient.Devices() is not able to
get the devices on our test windows boxes (even though it works on my
development machine)

So was trying to investigate how wireguard works on windows.  With
wgctrl package I was able to get it working on linux/mac, but facing
such issues on windows.  The reason for using wgctrl was to make it
configurable through our own APP.

Regard,
Dev
