[Unit]
Description=WireGuard automatic connection for %I
After=network-online.target
Documentation=man:wg(8)

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/wg-auto start %I
ExecStop=/usr/local/sbin/wg-auto stop %I
ExecReload=/usr/local/sbin/wg-auto restart %I

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Example: systemctl enable --now wg-auto@wg0

This will reuse the address info wg-quick save stores in the WireGuard config. Masquerading is already enabled with firewalld.
