Wgclient-start or stop not being called

[Weblee2407]

WireGuard is noticeably faster than OVPN but I can’t seems to get any of the notifications of a client connecting using the wgclient
scripts. Wgservice works but not even a ripple in the logs when a client connects. Are these scripts for site to site connects and disconnects? Is there anyway to detect when a phone or pc WG client connects?

I think that the wgclient-start/stop is called when the firmware client start/stops. not used for firmware server clients.

Why doesn’t WG think someone would want to know when a connection is made or terminated

Because WG in its design is a connection-less technology. There is no concept of connecting or disconnecting. Either the two ends can communicate with one another, or they can't.
