Wireguard client or server?

[theyikes]

Hi pardon me for asking a silly question but what's the difference between a wireguard client and a wireguard server.
I'm only asking because I want to configure my router so I can hide network clients behind a wireguard setup.
Total newbie so again sorry.

@theyikes Wireguard is not a server - client construct in the OpenVPN sense. Both end of the tunnel are peers and both can be configured the same.

The difference would be that on the server you can allow clients to access local network and you don't generally want the server to allow access to the network on the client.

And on the server you would allow multiple peers (clients) to access it and on the client(s) you have only one peer, the server.
