I’ve since done some reading and I think that WG_TUN_FD is designed more for 
contexts like running Wireguard in a container.

I’ve been able to get it working as a non-root user on OpenBSD but I did have 
to give the _wireguard user or group read/write permissions on /dev/tun2 and 
/var/run/wireguard. I’m exploring some alternatives to this but don’t think 
there is a bug or anything here. If there are any “best practices” for running 
wireguard-go as a non-root user I’d love to hear them!
