      Hello all

      If I have one WG configuration but use it by two or more clients (iPhone, iPad, etc):

      1 - is it a valid use case? (especially concurrently)
      2 - pros and cons?

      Thx

        @chudak Check out the newly updated Netgate WG documentation. It won't work concurrently.

        Keys cannot be reused between clients, as WireGuard requires unique keys to identify clients and where to send their traffic.

          I think it'd be useful if WG behaves as OpenVPN does and allow to use the same configuration concurrently IMHO :)
