An easier method is to just use PiVPN https://www.pivpn.io https://www.pivpn.io. It's much faster to setup and easier to manage with extremely simple commands.

  I've looked at PiVPN, but it looks like more work than many of the packages available for routers. e.g. dd-wrt, pfsense, opnsense all have point-and-click configuration pages.

    Not at all. Maybe three terminal commands tops to configure and add a user for yourself. Once the text config file is generated just import it on your client and you are done. As long as you have forwarded the appropriate port through your firewall that's literally all it is to it. Of course if you have a firewall with it built in, then use that. However for pfSense and OpnSense wireguard runs in user mode and not the kernel, so depending on your traffic the pi may be faster since wireguard is compiled into the kernel with piVPN. Which can cause fun issues if there is a kernel update you aren't prepared for - was my only real problem with piVPN/Wireguard but it wasn't too hard to recover once I figured out what was going on :)

    I'm not sure how this is possible. With pivpn: install pivpn, open router port & forward (automatically configured and optionally changed during setup), type 'pivpn add' at the command line for every device I want. Copy the outputted config files to device and import into wg client. Done.
