Hi, recently i tried out your script and now i want to install wireguard server to redirect my phone to pihole (when using mobile network). I install wireguard, wireguard-tools, wireguard-dkms and systemctl through terminal using: wsl -d Pi-hole After fully config wireguard with the guide come from this I tried to register through commands:

But both of them output the same thing: ERROR:systemctl:Unit wg-quick@wg0.service could not be found.

Hi, you need to deploy a separate WSL2 VM to set up Wireguard as Pi-hole is intended to run on WSL1.

So wireguard can't be run on the same wsl as pi-hole?

You can try converting it to WSL2, but at that point you're probably better just better off jumping into container technology like Docker. There is some learning overhead, but totally worth it.
