Hello Jason,

setup is
two default routes with diffenrent metrics (the second being the failover in case the lower metric connection goes down). For good reasons wg-quick will setup an individual route to the wg server (for the possibility of changing th default route afterwards).
However wg-quick fails:

******log follows***********
wg-quick up wg_client
[#] ip link add wg_client type wireguard
[#] wg setconf wg_client /dev/fd/63
[#] ip -4 address add 10.0.129.200/24 dev wg_client
[#] ip link set mtu 1420 up dev wg_client
[#] GATEW=$(ip route list 0.0.0.0/0|sed -n 's/.* via \(.*\) dev.*/\1/p');route add s1.spam-free.eu gw $GATEW
SIOCADDRT: No such device
[#] ip link delete dev wg_client
******logĀ  endĀ  ***********

The point is, that GATEW is NOT a single address but rather a list of ip addresses and the command setting the route fails.

Instead one should always run through ALL default gateways and set individual routes to the server through ALL the default gateways with the same metric as the respective default route.
This will then also work in case the failover route is in operation.

Of course, tearing down the client should delete ALL individual routes to the server.
Hope this clarifies is a bit.

Cheers,
Chris

On Linux? It shouldn't be iterating default gateways at all, but
rather using suppress_prefix. Can you provide more technical
information about what you're seeing and maybe a patch to fix the
issue?
