Wireguard adds routes with RTPROTO == boot. Is there a way to redistribute these over OSPF?

[cyqsimon]

I have configured a Wireguard point-to-point connection between two servers, with the intention of making each others' subnets accessible to each other. Wireguard mandates that I explicitly declare the allowed routes using the AllowedIPs field in the config file (otherwise it refuses to route them), and it also automatically adds those routes to the routing table. I would like to redistribute these routes over OSPF with FRR.

However, the routes added by Wireguard look like this:

$ ip route
# other routes omitted
10.69.0.0/16 dev wg0 scope link

... which you may notice, does not declare a routing protocol.^[1] But in FRR, conf > router ospf > redistribute requires a route protocol as argument. See docs. So what do I do here?

This is a direct quote from man ip-route:

If the routing protocol ID is not given, ip assumes protocol boot (i.e. it assumes the route was added by someone who doesn't understand what they are doing).

It doesn't help in this case because boot is not one of the recognised protocols in FRR; I just found this quote quite amusing.

today, on zebra external routes are overriden with kernel kind.
so unless you do some extension, it is not possible afaik

That's unfortunate. Should a spawn a new issue from this as a feature request?
