Hi,

i have configure route metric for the routes i added on pritunl server. When using wireguard protocol the routes are set up on the client without the configured metric values. This works fine when using openvpn protocol. Do i need to do something to make the metric appear on my routes with wireguard or is this a bug?

**pritunl** 1.32.4537.56 (On AWS Linux 2023)  
**pritunl-client-electron** 1.3.4466.51-1 (Arch Linux, installed from pritunl repo)

This is a known limitation, currently only OpenVPN supports route metrics.
