Translations
Get your wireguard file:
- Go to the WireGuard configuration file generator.

Setup in the webinterface

- Select “Connect networks or establish special connections”
- At “Has this WireGuard® connection already been set up at the remote connection?” select “Yes”
- Now give your connection a name and select the downloaded conf file. It is also important to select “Send all IPv4 network traffic via the VPN connection” because otherwise an error will occur.

Test:
I have tested this with a Fritz!Box 6850 LTE with firmware 7.51 but it also works with all other Fritz!Boxes that support VPN (WireGuard).
