What script would be the correct place for changing the IP routes on the router? There are two scripts (firewall-start and nat-start) for modifying iptables rules but there doesn't seem to be one for changing routes. My gut would say to put it in nat-start since that gets called after firewall-start so there's a better chance that the router has completed doing everything it was going to do to the routes (the idea being to not touch the routes until the router is done with them) but I'm not sure that reasoning is correct or if maybe there's an earlier or better script to put routes related code.

Thanks,
Harry

How about adding routes when the relevant interface starts? So wan routes go into wan-start, wireguard client routes in wgclient-start aso? natuarally added routes should be removed in the -stop hook script as well.
