At one point I overloaded the server and Wireguard was not working on it. I began to understand and found out that the `wg-iptables` service did not start. The logs were: ``` May 19 17:50:27 server.domain iptables[714]: Another app is currently holding the xtables lock. Perhaps you want to use the -w option? May 19 17:50:27 server.domain systemd[1]: wg-iptables.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=4/NOPERMISSION May 19 17:50:27 server.domain systemd[1]: wg-iptables.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. May 19 17:50:27 server.domain systemd[1]: Failed to start wg-iptables.service. ``` Then I started googling this problem [and found out](https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2019-October/004592.html) that the problem is that your startup commands do not specify to wait in case of blocking. This patch fixes the problem.
