hi,
You can select peer by replacing the main_server with the name of peer that you want to select.
for exampple:

   uci set wireguard.@proxy[0].main_server=vpnunlimited''
   uci commit wireguard
   /etc/init.d/wireguard restart

I’m not seeing a /etc/init.d/wireguard on firmware 4.4.6-release1 or 4.3.7-release4. Am I missing a script?

/etc/init.d/wireguard has been deleted on version 4.x.You can select peer with following commands.

uci set network.wgclient.config='peer_2002'
uci commit network
/etc/init.d/network restart

hello, in my case the command lines works, however it`s not the result I was expecting, I need to restart the wireguard connection by command (in order to set a cronjob) but it does not work...why I need to do it? cos I set a daily restart to my router, but every new restart the wireguard connection does not work, so I found that from GUI I restart it and it starts to work, do I need to do anything else?
