In `wg-quick`, IP entries are applied as DNS servers for the local interface via `resolvconf`, and non-IP entries are treated as DNS search domains. See [wg-quick(8)](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/wg-quick.8.html) and the [WireGuard for Windows parser](https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-windows/tree/conf/parser.go).
