By the way: on Android Wireguard VPN shouldn’t need a dedicated app but should run natively via the OS settings. There you can also flag it as permanent, so Android will connect (re)automatically if you restart the device or lose connection.

I just tried adding a native VPN and there’s no option to use Wireguard

Same. Might be confused because the WireGuard app does integrate with the settings menu, but it still uses the app under the hood. In the case of WireGuard’s UI, it basically looks like a settings page, so when you go to Settings -> Network -> VPN -> WireGuard, it feels as if you never left settings.
There’s basically no point baking WireGuard support in the ROM as you’ll just end up duplicating the WireGuard app anyway.

Sorry, you’re right. It’s been so long that I’ve installed the app and always went via system settings that I’ve incorrectly assumed it was native.
