Help text

WireGuard is a secure, fast, and easy to use replacement for IPSec that uses modern cryptography and clever networking tricks. It's designed to be fairly general purpose and abstract enough to fit most use cases, while at the same time remaining extremely simple to configure. See www.wireguard.com for more info.

It's safe to say Y or M here, as the driver is very lightweight and is only in use when an administrator chooses to add an interface.
