net/wireguard was only a meta port to allow a simple "pkg install wireguard=
" and
various instructions might still exist that will fail now.

The second usecase of it was to depend either on wireguard-kmod or wireguar=
d-go
depending on which FreeBSD version you are and what is available.

Now in 2024 we have if_wg in kernel for all supported FreeBSD versions but =
we still
lack proper rc.d integration. But there are multiple available implementati=
ons:

* official wg-quick: pkg install wireguard-tools
* simpler rc.d script: pkg install wireguard-tools-lite
* another rc.d candidate: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D41318

So for the curious, if you did use wireguard-kmod before please remove the =
port and
install wireguard-tools if you use wg-quick.
