Wouldn't using Table = off do everything you need, without touching the routing.

Yes, this does thanks

I plan on using Quagga for BGP over WireGuard tunnels so I guess I
need to avoid wg-quick if that makes changes to the routing table and
firewall as I want to manage those my self

I believe it's both, in a way.

As far as wg is concerned, the AllowedIPs is effectively an ACL.  Any traffic 
hitting your wireguard interface from an IP not within the AllowedIPs will 
either be dropped on decryption, or won't even be decrypted.  (It's one of 
these, but I can't remember which)

On top of that, wg-quick interprets the AllowedIPs string and does other 
things, such as adding appropriate network routing (the second part of your 
guess), as well as modifying any client firewall rules to permit the traffic.

Hope this helps  :)

that day what is allowed down the tunnel or is it mechanism to
configure what addresses get routed down the tunnel?

Thanks in advance
