+Available since r2025.3, this lets you quickly and easily import a pre-generated WireGuard configuration file. This file can come from an external VPN provider, or another WireGuard endpoint. Files must be compatible with the wg-quick format (usually ending in "*.conf").
 Typically, with an external VPN provider, you choose appropriate settings on their website for the configuration you want. The VPN provider then generates a corresponding configuration file to import. For most providers, this will be a wg-quick compatible file.
-While FreshTomat's function requires a file to be wg-quick compatible format for import, it does not maintain that format, or even save a configuration file. Instead, after import, settings are divided up and stored in NVRAM as separate variables. To quickly view all the settings, use the "nvram show" command.
+Even though FreshTomato requires the file to be in wg-quick compatible format for import, it doesn't save any configuration file. Instead, after import, settings are divided up and stored in NVRAM as separate variables. To quickly view all the settings, use the "nvram show" command.
 For example, to display all variables and their settings for the "wg0" interface, type:
-"nvram show|grep wg0_"
+"nvram show|grep wg0_"  \\  \\

 The only exception occurs when you copy a configuration file to a folder on the router and enter a path to that file in the //Config File// field. In that case, that file will be saved as a configuration file, in wg-quick format.

 If a link is up, the handshake done and the tunnel established, you should see the peer's interface ID, and the the time of the latest handshake process. You should also see real-time traffic data such as bytes transmitted (tx) and bytes received (rx). These details confirm the tunnel is established and data is flowing through it.
