I'd like to have only one program run through a wireguard config I have stored at /etc/wireguard/config.conf, and all the other programs run through the normal IP address.



I've found this page in the wireguard use on routing, which suggests using namespaces, but when I try to run some of the commands, such as



sudo ip link set wlp2s0 netns physical
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument


Suggesting this can't be done through arch linux. Has anyone found a way to get specific programs to run through wireguard?

  • What does your wireguard config look like, and what output do you get from # lsns -l?

  • lsns -l just has a bunch of entries for syncthing only, and wireguard config looks like: ``` [Interface] PrivateKey = Address = DNS = [Peer] PublicKey = AllowedIPs = Endpoint = ```
