This is something I’ve noticed on Core 189, and at least 188 aswell. (See the image)
I know the topic of Wireguard being included on IPFire has come up a number of times before on the forum. My understanding is that it’s planned to be included in IPFire 3, and at some point in IPFire 2.XX when time & resources allow.
Does it showing up like this is the Web UI have any significance that it’ll be included sooner or is it just a typo?
It has been added in there so it is ready for when it does come. You will also see that Wireguard is also there in the Connections WUI page. Those things are the relatively easy steps to do.
As you say there have been other post threads on wireguard

where wireguard has been asked for and donations to support us have been requested but as the last post in the above list indicates there has not been any real indication of interest based on the donations. So it will have to get worked on when free time occurs to apply some focus and time to it.
Exactly this. We have a working prototype which is really nice and easy to use and we have started to integrate it into some parts of the OS which we have already shipped. I agree that this us very confusing now, but there was the hope that we can fast-track this project a lot more, but sadly there has been very little interest since the development team decided to actually work on this, which is surprising to at least me considering the attention this got before.

What is the amount you need to make Wireguard a fully-fledged option in IPFire? Some several thousand euro, I would guess, no?
Thank you both for the updates. It is definitely a little confusing to have the Option in certain pages of the WebUI if it doesn’t do anything.
I would be very excited about the inclusion of Wireguard in IPFire. I moved over to it from OpenVPN after many issues with the connection hanging, and it’s been quite flawless since I started using it. I’m currently running it in a Virtual Machine running on my IPFire system, it would be nice to be able to shut that Virtual Machine down.
I will send a donation to you guys to help it happen sooner. (As I usually do this time of year)
I’d find a native wireguard implementation in IPFire very helpful, but am already donating a small amount monthly.
So I guess please include this as one “vote”! 
Thanks again for this fantastic software. I rely on it!
Very happy to do so 
We love monthly donations
