This is a lie. The bad code was never "deployed in production", it was pulled before a release. FreeBSD users were never exposed to it. HEAD code branch is where reviews happen in BSDs, this code failed that review and was removed.

A a larger backer and contributor to freeBSD pushed wireguard kernel mode support out in one of their production releases and then slowly walked it back. Whether freeBSD likes it or not, this sort of thing reflects poorly on freeBSD as a whole when a large donor/backer and contributor that advertises freeBSD then releases something that is a pile of half baked shit. https://www.netgate.com/blog/wireguard-removed-from…

I'm already running the kmod Wireguard on Opnsense unless I'm missing something?

I have a Dutch physical OPNsense (business license) box with 10 GbE ports. IIRC, it's the userland version. To be honest, I prefer most things to live outside of the kernel than use it as a kitchen sink dumping ground for "but but but it's faster!".
