Is this something that might be of interest to have in the wiki?
Seems like a lot of users are confused about setting up Wireguard in general

What's the reason to use /etc/firewall.user and insert accepts in the main chains instead of using a VPN zone in the firewall? It seems easier to configure the access policy using zones.

This document consists mostly of snippets of code.There is very limited explanation how this code works and how it can be transformed to be adjusted to other configurations. I would not call it a tutorial, because it is very hard to learn pr understand what's going on by reading it. It may be helpful to those who already knows the basics of wireguard / openwrt and only need a quick reference.
Yes, I haven't looked into it because of interest/time. If you can adapt it it's more than welcome.
While I understand what you're getting at I think that issue is the lack of documentation in general. If you look at the wiki they pretty much do the same, covering everything from network layout (setup) to * would create a wall of text for each entry and that isn't the intended scope. There really should be a requirement of a wiki page as there are no man pages in OpenWrt for commits but that's just my personal opinion.
Feel free to add to https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/wireguard

This is very useful. I am going to set up a Ubuntu 18.x server on Azure and then try this out. Firewalls are the hardest to me. Thanks for writing.
