It allows to open an editing window where you can paste the configuration from a text file, therefore, you can choose the parameters you need for the tunnel. Use this tab if you need to connect the server to an external (commercial) Wireguard VPN service.
 If you need to configure a tunnel to connect the point-to-point server with another server, or any other network topology, you must do so in this tab, since it allows you to manually define keys, networks and other necessary parameters.

     * Note that the networks created by the plugin in the **Tunnel** and **Client** tabs are generated in the ''10.192.x.x'' network range. Therefore, choosing networks in this range may cause conflicts. In that case the service will not start and the plugin will throw an error.
