The 10.0.0.1 peer is a standard Wireguard server with masquerading.

I wonder if jumphosts could be achieved in Wireguard, so Peer A connects to Peer B, then to Peer C, while the connection from A to C is end to end encrypted.

This would be similar to SSH jump hosts.

To my knowledge, this could not be done with VPN, unless with additional software, eg, a mesh VPN. B could port forward A’s request to C. This may not be possible, since B might offer a VPN access not port forwarding. For example, you authenticate to a network by policy, and then to a server. A could run two instances of VPN, one to A, then another to C. This gets quickly unwieldy and the client software may not allow running more than one instance of VPN, eg, in phones.
