-## Manual gateway failover for roaming clients
-
-WireGuard doesn't automatically failover between multiple peers with identical `AllowedIPs` routes. When both gateways (blowfish and fishfinger) are configured with `AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0`, WireGuard uses the first peer with a recent handshake. If that gateway goes down, traffic won't automatically switch to the backup.
-
-To enable manual failover, separate configuration files have been created for roaming clients (earth laptop and pixel7pro phone), each containing only a single gateway peer.
-
-### Configuration files for pixel7pro (phone)
-
-Two separate configs in `/home/paul/git/wireguardmeshgenerator/dist/pixel7pro/etc/wireguard/`:
-
-* **wg0-blowfish.conf** - Routes all traffic through blowfish gateway (23.88.35.144)
-* **wg0-fishfinger.conf** - Routes all traffic through fishfinger gateway (46.23.94.99)
-

-* **wg0-fishfinger.conf** - Routes all traffic through fishfinger gateway
-
-### Using manual failover on Android
-
-On the pixel7pro phone, import both QR codes using the WireGuard app to create two separate tunnel profiles:
-
-```sh
-# Generate QR codes
-qrencode -t ansiutf8 < dist/pixel7pro/etc/wireguard/wg0-blowfish.conf
-qrencode -t ansiutf8 < dist/pixel7pro/etc/wireguard/wg0-fishfinger.conf
-```
-
-In the WireGuard app, you can then manually enable/disable each tunnel to select which gateway to use. Only enable one tunnel at a time.
-
-### Using manual failover on Linux
-
-On the earth laptop, copy both configs and use systemd to switch between them:
-
-```sh
-# Install both configurations
-sudo cp dist/earth/etc/wireguard/wg0-blowfish.conf /etc/wireguard/
-sudo cp dist/earth/etc/wireguard/wg0-fishfinger.conf /etc/wireguard/
-
-# Start with blowfish gateway
-sudo systemctl start wg-quick@wg0-blowfish.service
-
-# To switch to fishfinger gateway
-sudo systemctl stop wg-quick@wg0-blowfish.service
-sudo systemctl start wg-quick@wg0-fishfinger.service
-```
-
-This approach provides explicit control over which gateway handles roaming client traffic, useful when one gateway needs maintenance or experiences connectivity issues.
