> Hi,
>
> This change adds an option to monitor dynamic IP hosts used as
> endpoints in Wireguard peer configuration and restart the service when
> the IP captured by Wireguard has changed.
>
> We have a keep-alive option already but this doesn't completely
> prevent a connection from becoming stale, for example when the
> Wireguard *server* is hosted on a machine with a dynamic IP and the
> Wireguard *clients* are the ones initiating the connection to it.
>
> When the Wireguard server disappears (in my case my ISP resets my IP
> once per day, which breaks active connections), the keep-alives are
> interrupted and the clients are stuck with a stale IP.
>
> I've tested this with a duckdns.org dynamic host name that I use to
> reach my private machine from the Internet, and it seems to work.
> I'll report after a few days of usage.
