Wireguard interface naming - wg0 or not?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Hi all,

wasn't there a release when wg0 became verboten and interfaces needed to start with wg1? I remember I renumbered all interfaces on all my firewalls via XML edit back then.

Now I just configured a new system with a single tunnel, added an instance and a peer and *boom* - wg0.
So what's the current (and hopefully future) state of affairs?

Thanks,
Patrick

I was surprised too but the current state of affair seems to be that wg0 is fine. I dont know the reason though.
