wg-quick [up|down|save|strip] interface

wg-quick is a convenience wrapper for setting up WireGuard VPN tunnels quickly. It reads configuration files from /etc/wireguard/ and handles interface creation, routing, and DNS configuration automatically.
Configuration files are named [interface].conf (e.g., /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf) and contain both WireGuard settings and wg-quick-specific options like Address, DNS, and routing rules.

up _interface_

Bring up a WireGuard interface using config file

Tear down a WireGuard interface

Save current configuration to config file

Output configuration without wg-quick-specific options

Requires root privileges. Configuration files must exist in /etc/wireguard/. The script modifies routing tables and may affect network connectivity. DNS changes require resolvconf or systemd-resolved support.
