> :warning: If host networking is used, the WireGuard Portal UI will be accessible on all the host's IP addresses if the listening address is set to `:8888` in the configuration file.
To avoid this, you can bind the listening address to a specific IP address, for example, the loopback address (`127.0.0.1:8888`). It is also possible to deploy firewall rules to restrict access to the WireGuard Portal UI.
> :warning: If the host is running **systemd-networkd**, routes managed by WireGuard Portal may be removed whenever systemd-networkd restarts, as it will clean up routes it considers "foreign". To prevent this, add the following to your host's network configuration (e.g. `/etc/systemd/networkd.conf` or a drop-in file):
> ```ini
> [Network]
> ManageForeignRoutingPolicyRules=no
> ManageForeignRoutes=no
> ```
> After editing, reload the configuration with `sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd`. For more information refer to the [systemd-networkd documentation](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/networkd.conf.html#ManageForeignRoutes=).
- **Within the WireGuard Portal Docker container**:
WireGuard interfaces can be managed directly from within the WireGuard Portal container itself.
This is the recommended approach when running WireGuard Portal via Docker, as it encapsulates all functionality in a single, portable container without requiring a separate WireGuard host or image.
