How to make specific programs use wireguard in arch linux?

I'd like to have only one program run through a wireguard config I have stored at /etc/wireguard/config.conf, and all the other programs run through the normal IP address.



I've found this page in the wireguard help on routing, which suggests using namespaces, but when I try to run some of the commands, such as 



sudo ip link set wlp2s0 netns physical

RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument


Suggesting this can't be done through arch linux. Has anyone found a way to get specific programs to run through wireguard?

  • What does your wireguard config look like, and what output do you get from # lsns -l?

  • lsns -l just has a bunch of entries for syncthing only, and wireguard config looks like: ``` [Interface] PrivateKey = Address = DNS = [Peer] PublicKey = AllowedIPs = Endpoint = ```

Accessing regular linux commands in Huawei's Dopra Linux

Image
4 Backstory: I have a Huawei HG8245 router in my house and I want to change the default username/password. I've tried following this guide but the config file always gets reset. My ISP isn't helping either so I'm looking for other ways to accomplish this. The router has telnet access so this seems like a way to change the credentials. The first shell I gain access to looks like this: WAP> Pressing "?" gives me a list of available commands which I've pasted here, the two interesting ones are "su" and "shell". I can't seem to get su access, even after logging in as root (challenge password prompt, and then nothing happens), but shell gives me a proper linux shell.
