Can Wireguard prioritize VPN-servers?

[alphaswe]

Hello!

Will the WireGuard client in Asuswrt-merlin prioritize to use #1 vpn server all the time when it is online?

For example:
if #1 VPN-server goes offline, it failover to #2 VPN-server. But will it jump back to #1 VPN-server when its online again?


I hope you could understand my bad English.
Thank you!

It's not clear that it works the way you are requesting. From the link: "If a higher priority client triggers its killswitch, then no traffic will go through the lower priority clients. " Assuming the vpn connection being unavailable equates to a trigger, than both clients will be shutdown.

Hmm, what does this even mean? I dont fully understand ;(

Then why is the #1 even have a kill switch active, instead of a fail over.

This type of thing work with OpenVPN, I dont understand why WireGuard dont have this.

I have made my funny research now.

1. asuswrt-merlin dont have the function i need as default
2. dd-wrt dont have it, i have tried 1 whole week without success
3. openwrt dont have it.
