Wireguard Wireguard Client VPN Failover Script

[glitterclub]

Hello,

I have created a VPN failover script for wireguard VPN client, currently the script works only for one client (wg1) where you can failover to multiple clients if a server goes down. This is my first attempt with shell scripting so don't mind if the script feels silly.

I wrote this script by taking inspiration from this github page https://github.com/MartineauUK/VPN-Failover, which I currently use for OpenVPN client

Thanks @glitterclub! I'll be adding this to the main software catalog thread!

Brilliant! Congrats @glitterclub
This should be implemented by default in the WireGuard settings, don't you think?

Does this failover works just disabling wireguard client so the connection just goes through WAN? Or it always iterates between wireguard client configs?
Thank you!
