True. But I still think that ability to assign multi interfaces to one udp
port would be handy. Eg when one want to use only specific and limited
ports (like eg 53) for wireguard but still wants to have more interfaces at
one's disposal. Possible use case - be able to easily assign and group
various peers to different interfaces and monitor those interfaces
parameters (exposed eg by kernel) using monitoring tools capable of
collecting various information/data and/or plotting graphs like bandwidth,
traffic, and so on. This info could be later used for analysing or
debugging.

Reading through the docs.

I come to scenario where I would like to disable whole allowed-ips thing. A
multi-homed scenario where traffics comes out via one peer/interface and
come back via the other one. Wrote about this in another email.
