Core Idea

AllowedIPs is the unordered list of CIDR ranges WireGuard associates with a peer. On the server, decrypted packets are only accepted if their source IP matches this list. On the client, only destinations inside the list are routed through the tunnel. It usually makes the most sense alongside Split tunneling, Admin subnet, WireGuard peer group.
