This also implies that any relevant configuration change might also require you to delete/re-import the config on the other peers.

+The Wireguard GUI menu is currently a work in progress. Some basic functionality is working since release 2024.1. However some elements, including the following have no yet been implemented:
   * External VPN provider connectivity
-  * kill-switch
+  * Kill-switch
-  * routing-policy
+  * Routing-policy
-  * split-tunneling
+  * Split-tunneling
-are not yet implemented. So your focus should be on sit-to-site for the time being.
+ \\
+For this reason, you should focus on on site-to-site configurations until that status changes.
