You mean "dynamically" push routes and DNS configurations while the tunnel is already up?

Because you can definitively configure routes and DNS at connection time.

What you'd normally think of as Wireguard allows routes at connection time sure, however OP wants a VPN which allows peer B ("server") to define a route and advertise that route to peer A ("client"). So one day the client would route 10.1.0.0/24 down the wireguard tunnel, but not 10.2.0.0/24, the next day however from changing peer B, the config on peer A would change.

Obviously there are many things you could do to allow this (run a routing protocol, build a custom client which gets route information, etc), but the "out of the box" wireguard is a kernel interface, a wg command, and a utility script (wg-quick). I think there are some gui based clients for non-linux based OSes, but it's the same principle.

DNS is nothing to do with the wireguard kernel or userspace, it's configured in the "wg-quick script" (there's a bash function called set_dns), but you can do that however you want.

Wireguard alone isn't what an enterprise would consider to be a "VPN solution", it doesn't push configs from a central location, it's very much a peer-to-peer tool. You can build "enterprise" features like centrally defined routes or DNS on top of that, or not, it's not opinionated.

I'm generally comparing it with OpenVPN and it allows to do all that.
