Clearly this is FAQ-ish kind of thing. It was a little hard for me to easily find a reference for this kind of stuff. I realize the WireGuard project may not consider it to be their responsibility to address such things.

When enabling both of the devices/.conf's (listed as 1. and 2. above) concurrently, the #2 route travels over #1 (all starting up via 'wg-quick'). In this scenario I'd prefer #2 routing "bypasses" #1 and retain its (#2's) lower-latency path/network. Can this be done, somehow?

I deduce the "route" for #2 changes when concurrently-enabling #1 because the #2-ping-latency immediately and dramatically increases to match #1-network's latency (and immediately reverts to #2's lower latency when #1 is disabled). This hurts my #2 network, badly.

I'm running/testing the above on macOS v12.6.3 build 21G419, wireguard-go v0.0.20230223. If not on macOS, might this be feasible on Fedora or Ubuntu?

I realize this might be a FAQ. I could not find any docs/resources to help after a brief search, so I'm posting here.
