VPN Setup with AT&T
I have an HPE Proliant G11 server with Windows Server 2022 installed on it.
I ordered a block of 60 usable IPv4 from AT&T. I want to host my own VPN in this service with Wireguard protocol (since this is the faster VPN protocol I have heard) . I will also want to assign a specific IPv4 from the block that I have available to each client since they will be using this VPN installed in their router so that way any device connected to their router has the IPv4 I have assigned them through the Wireguard VPN.
Does anybody how can I achieve this or how to route thos IPs to my server?

I would think that you would connect the VPN server to a LAN port of the Gateway. I'd suggest that you either make the private IP it gets on the LAN sticky (by IP assignment once it obtains it via DHCP) or statically. Once you've got it connected, I'd think you could set up Cascaded Router for the /26 subnet to the VPN server. That will cause all traffic destined for the /26 to be routed to the VPN server and allow traffic with a source address of the /26 block from the VPN server to be passed to the Internet. The VPN server should have a default gateway of the AT&T Gateway (typically 192.168.1.254) and route its traffic through that.
It would then be an exercise for you to figure out how to configure the VPN server. I'm sort of assuming that you'd allocate one of the IPs in the block to be a shared incoming IP for the tunnel and the rest to be the outbound for the traffic to leave on.

Thank you @JefferMC , do know any tutorial on how to do this by a chance: " I'd suggest that you either make the private IP it gets on the LAN sticky (by IP assignment once it obtains it via DHCP) or statically."

Connect your VPN device, let it obtain an IP via DHCP. Once it's done that, go to the Gateway's Home Network > IP Allocation page and click the Allocate button beside your device. That way your device will always be given the same IP when it makes a DHCP request.

When I try to Allocate IP to my VPN Server device, in the IP Allocation list, the device does not show up.
Any reason why?

Did it get its IP via DHCP from the Gateway?

I did these steps:
Next to IP assignment, select Edit.
Under Edit network IP settings or Edit IP settings, select Automatic (DHCP)
Is this the correct way to let it get its IP via DHCP from the Gateway?

Did you restart or otherwise tell the VPN server that it might need to reobtain its IP?

I was able to do the DHCP allocation to my server on the AT&T Getway. Now when I want to set up the Cascaded Router and try to enable it, it does not allow me to do it. It is gray out. :(
