From my limited understanding, Gerbil is a Wireguard peer/server with some API baked in. Instead of using Newt to connect to it, is it possible that I set my Wireguard capable router to connect directly to gerbil?

My goal is so that my whole home network would have secure Wireguard connection to the VPS, which I would be hosting an Adguard DNS server, and be able to connect to it without exposing port 53 to the public.

Any insight would be appreciated!

This is not directly possible with Gerbil unless you build something custom, but you could run a second WG server on the VPS on a different port no problem.

I see, I'll use wg-easy in that case then. Thank you!
