Configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Wireguard requires the generation of a keypair, a private key which will decrypt
+incoming traffic and a public key, which the peer(s) will use to encrypt traffic.
+
+Generate a keypair
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
Generate the keypair, which creates a public and private part and stores it
within VyOS.
+It will be used per default on any configured wireguard interface, even if
+multiple interfaces are being configured.

+Generate named keypairs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Named keypairs can be used on a interface basis, if configured.
+If multiple wireguard interfaces are being configured, each can have
+their own keypairs.

The last step is to define an interface route for 10.2.0.0/24 to get through
the wireguard interface `wg01`. Multiple IPs or networks can be defined and
routed, the last check is allowed-ips which either prevents or allows the
traffic.
