   Yes; I agree that I like the 'tech' of wg compared to ovpn.   
      
   However, whenever i 'play around' with the implementations of VPN which   
   are available from the various providers (I've only been looking at   
   forms of free), there is more ovpn available than wg for linux.   
      
   My experiences w/ wg-quick haven't been entirely smooth.   
      
   Considering my relative 'disinterest' in vpn, I'm surprised I've been   
   fooling w/ it some.  I don't really have a need.  I don't believe I need   
   to hide anything from my connectivity provider and I don't have trouble   
   connecting to anything because I'm the wrong IP, and I don't do things   
   that would get me into copyright trouble, and I'm not a privacy buff.
