Comment on Where are you running your wireguard endpoint?
dan@upvote.au 9 hours agoBoth of those documents agree with me? RedHat are using the terms “client” and “server” to make it easier for people to understand, but they explicitly say that all hosts are “peers”.
Note that all hosts that participate in a WireGuard VPN are peers. This documentation uses the terms client to describe hosts that establish a connection and server to describe the host with the fixed hostname or IP address that the clients connect to and, optionally, route all traffic through this server.

They do no such thing.
The first link explains the protocol.
The second explains WHY one would refer to client and server with regards to Wireguard.
My point ties both together to explain why people would use client and server with regards to the protocol itself, and a common configuration where this would be the necessary for clarification. Ties both of them together, and makes my point from my original comment, which also refers to OP’s comment.
I’m not digging you, just illustrating a correction so you’re not running around misinformed.
