The reason MikroTik's WireGuard peer generator automatically sets the `ListenPort = 51820` in the configuration is likely to align with the default port used by the WireGuard protocol. WireGuard commonly defaults to port `51820` unless otherwise specified, and MikroTik's implementation may prioritize explicit configuration for consistency and ease of troubleshooting.
In most WireGuard setups, the `ListenPort` field is optional for clients, as clients typically do not require a specific port to be explicitly defined. Omitting it allows the operating system to dynamically choose an available ephemeral port.
