Just to point out what 'others are doing' - openwrt has a watchdog
script [1] that might be run with cron every 15 mins
*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/wireguard_watchdog
which will update the new endpoint if the last handshake is too old:
wg set ${iface} peer ${public_key} endpoint
"${endpoint_host}:${endpoint_port}"
It needs PersistenKeepalive also, if i understand correctly.
