that latter bit is the only thing that really makes any difference for client vs server..
wg will send traffic to initiate a connection when both of these are true:
there's a peer address to trythere's traffic trying to use the tunnel, either from real processes or the internal "persistent keepalive" timer
That initiation is the closest thing there is to being a "client",
otherwise it just stays silent and no connection is negotiated. But of course a lot of helpful product gooeys try to make it seem like there must be c/s.

@uep@timeloop.cafe @hugo@social.treehouse.systems okay so shaking off c/s. Then...I should configure NO "client" on openwrt, just the "server" and then make the instances talk to each other directly.
