[wireguard-apple] [iOS] 464xlat networks and On-demand roaming issue

[Jérémy Prego]

Hello,

i have the exact same request for android, see my thread here:
https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2021-September/007140.html

I regret that it is not configurable and that it does not use the 
default way of doing the system
