+ Note that this only affects "routing inside the network interface itself",
+ as in, which wireguard peer packets with a specific destination address are sent to,
+ and what source addresses are accepted from which peer.
+ To cause packets to be sent via wireguard in first place, a route needs
+ to be added, as well - either in the [Routes] section on the
