I wrote a guide for installing WireGuard on the Pinebook Pro (for MrFixit's Stretch distro) here: https://vercas.com/2019/11/05/wireguard-pbp.html

So I'm trying to learn a little more about the Pine Book Pro as I think I might want to buy, and since I do use Wireguard daily I'm wondering why Wireguard has issues on the PineBook Pro. What are the issues with the  wireguard-dkms package.

I followed ayufan instructions and initially had an issue with running the wireguard kernel module, the error msg about some protocol not supported when invoking the link on wg0. However after a sudo apt remove wireguard followed by sudo apt-get install wireguard the dkms wireguard module succesfully installed itself. Now it works like a charm.

mrfixit's Debian image doesn't include the tools you need to use DKMS packages (or to build kernel modules in general).

Wireguard working on Ubuntu Mate (Bionic Mate)

I need a functional wireguard instalation for my Pinebook Pro to be a truly useful laptop for remote access. I have finally gotten it installed and completely functional, so have decide to post what I did to help anyone else having difficulties.

First, based on a comment in a previous post, I found from: 
    https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...es/dkms.md
these instructions:

sudo apt-get install -y dkms git-core
sudo apt-get install -y debootstrap binutils-aarch64-linux-gnu
sudo debootstrap --arch=arm64 --variant=minbase --include=gcc bionic /opt/gcc-arm64 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/
echo "export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-arm64/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-" | sudo tee -a /etc/dkms/framework.conf
echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gcc-arm64/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/:/opt/gcc-arm64/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/:\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" | sudo tee  -a /etc/dkms/framework.conf


I already had dkms git wireguard wireguard-tools and wireguard-dkms installed (but wireguard-dkms gave errors).
I installed:
    binutils-common:arm64 (2.30-21ubuntu1~18.04.2)
    debootstrap (1.0.95)
  they also installed:
    libbinutils:arm64 (2.30-21ubuntu1~18.04.2)
    zlib1g:arm64 (1:1.2.11.dfsg-0ubuntu2)

I then ran as root (su -i) per the instructions:
sudo debootstrap --arch=arm64 --variant=minbase --include=gcc bionic /opt/gcc-arm64 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/
echo "export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-arm64/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-" | sudo tee -a /etc/dkms/framework.conf
echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gcc-arm64/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/:/opt/gcc-arm64/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/:\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" | sudo tee  -a /etc/dkms/framework.conf
Those completed without errors.

I then used synaptic to reinstall wireguard-dkms and it installed without errors!


I already had a /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf from previous attempts.
Ran (as root) wg-quick up wg0 and wg-quick down wg0  but got errors from the script related to iptables.
Checked, and iptables was not installed so I installed iptables

Re-ran wg-quick up wg0 and was connected to the remote site!
wg reported the status and info on the connection.
wg-quick down wg0 terminated the connection without errors.

SOLVED, hope this helps someone.
BTW I have found the Bionic Ubuntu Mate distribution to be very reliable and have been able to install packages with synaptic 
that just work. I have alsi installed the Vivaldi browser without problems.
