This Gist details a solution for reclaiming control over a macOS system when using older versions of Bash and the sandboxed App Store version of WireGuard cause issues. The core problem is that macOS's system Bash is outdated (version 3.2), which breaks modern scripts. Additionally, the App Store WireGuard client stores configurations in the Keychain, making them inaccessible to the command-line interface.
The solution involves installing a modern Bash and WireGuard tools via Homebrew, fixing terminal issues with terminfo, configuring the root environment's PATH, and rescuing WireGuard configurations from the Keychain. By following these steps, users can establish a functional WireGuard CLI setup on their macOS systems, bypassing the limitations imposed by the system's default configuration.
