It's merged in but disabled in the generic kernel for the time being,
which makes sense and a typical practice with OpenBSD.

Just curious (and I'm not always the brightest): Does this mean
setting up OpenBSD servers to be VPNs with Wireguard?

Meaning I could setup an OpenBSD VPS to be a VPN (possibly VPN with
Tor) and not have to pay a VPN provider?

Oh shit. Goodbye VPN providers!

The wg(4) driver was enabled in GENERIC/GENERIC.MP and is available
for testing in the latest amd64 snapshot.  No need to build your own
kernel.
