Hi, recent versions of BalenaOS include the wireguard module by default if the kernel version for the device type supports it. See [meta-balena/kernel-balena.bbclass at 3e67facb7e983b198f29a67ae70a3ff5d9e7a90c · balena-os/meta-balena · GitHub](https://github.com/balena-os/meta-balena/blob/3e67facb7e983b198f29a67ae70a3ff5d9e7a90c/meta-balena-common/classes/kernel-balena.bbclass#L222).
