I followed this manual:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-wireguard-on-ubuntu-20-04
I came to the end and am now struggling to start the wireguard service.
I hope someone can spot an obvious mistake that I don't spot myself or guide me into the right direction.
Thanks a lot in advance.
