Hi maillisters,
my concern is about the site's doc.
I spent a lot of time before getting the configuration files right
because of a small lack in the doc:
it is missing a few lines explaining that what's appears a "weird"
network notation has in fact 2 purposes, setting the VPN interface IP
address and the segment width.
This simple supplementary explanation could spare a lot of potential
users hours of ranting=E2=80=A6 ;)
Disclaimer: I don't do very much networking apart the usual into
Linux, so not on the head (nor the balls!)

Do you mean 192.168.88.0/24 ? That's the standard annotation for IP
subnets (e.g. 10.0.0.0/16, 192.168.0.0/24, 8.8.8.8/32).

And it is called CIDR-Notation if you want to search for more information.

No, I mean e.g.: 10.11.12.1/24
at first, I thought it was a typo and added 2 'Address' lines in the
configuration file, one for the wg0 IP and one for the segment; but I
was wrong as the above notation is the way to go.
However, it is not publicized anywhere, so it took me 'some' time to
figure this out.
