I think they are actually asking for a server. I used mullvad vpn in the past, and it looks like it creates a local ipsec server, and than tunnels that traffic through wireguard to mullvad. The user is probably looking for something similar, as ios only supports ipsec/ikev2/l2tp natively. If you want to use wireguard or openvpn you have to get creative.

There's been an official Wireguard app on the App Store for years[1]. I've been a happy user of it since day 1.

The iOS documentation seems to suggest this may not be necessary, though I'm not well versed in the iOS API. Setting up a double VPN client/server system seems unnecessarily complicated to me. I wonder what drove Mullvad to this solution.

  Okay, I just dove into wireguard‘s source code and it looks like I made wrong assumptions. When I used mullvad or wireguard, it always showed „127.0.0.1“ as the server, however, according to wireguard‘s source, this is just set as a placeholder. I assume that mullvad used this code to implement their app too. https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-apple/blob/13b720442d47b67a18d6841aa34569633a22b458/Sources/WireGuardKit/PacketTunnelSettingsGenerator.swift#L84 https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-apple/blob/13b720442d... https://ibb.co/x5kwxZW https://ibb.co/x5kwxZW
