Hi Skyler,

Do you have assigned "fe80:10::2" to `wg1`? (Just to make sure...) I 
think otherwise bird would not be able to bind to the address.
And you have configured `AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0`?

Obvious question #2: You can ping6 the peer on fe80:10::1%wg1 ?

I would also enable "direct" for the peer, as you are directly connected 
  via the tunnel.

Good luck and have fun with dn42!
