+Mobile "RoadWarrior" clients
+============================
+
+Some users tend to connect their mobile devices using WireGuard to their VyOS
+router. To ease deployment one can generate a "per mobile" configuration from
+the VyOS CLI.
+
+.. warning:: From a security perspective it is not recommended to let a third
+ party create the private key for a secured connection. You should create the
+ private portion on your own and only hand out the public key. Please keep this
+ in mind when using this convenience feature.
+
+.. opcmd:: generate wireguard mobile-config <interface> server <ip | fqdn> address <client ip>
+
+ Using this command you will create a client configuration which can connect to
+ ``interface`` on this router. The public key from the specified interface is
+ automatically extracted and embedded into the configuration.
- vyos@wg01# wireguard keypair default
+ In addition you will specifiy the IP address or FQDN for the client where it
+ will connect to. The address parameter is used to assign a given client an
+ IPv4 or IPv6 address.
