wireguard export client option

[hansdampf]

Is there any chance to get an export option for wireguard clients? Like its done for openvpn?

Thanks very much!

You mean like the existing peer generator?

[hansdampf]

No, more like exporting the config-files.

It will be nice to have an option "Send config/QR Code by email" or download from User Portal in Business Edition like for OpenVPN.

This. Or, as an alternative, publish it on the internet.

But that's what the peer generator does - produce a config file for you:

That export is only for new instances. I refer to existing instances.

I can see only two possibilities here:

1. You have an existing entry that is already working and in use  by a client - so, you need no export function.
2. You have an existing entry that is not being used, because you failed to export it in the first place or did not import it on the client. In that case, you might well create a new entry with the generator, which creates an export and delete the old (unused) entry.

I.e.: existing entries never need to be exported, or am I missing something here?

BTW: Some peer generators show you the client configuration exactly once for security reasons and more often than not, it is not exportable from the client, either. Oh, and in case you did not know: You should use a client configuration on one client only.

It is sometimes necessary to change or fix the config after it is issued.  An export would be handy.
