> the WireGuard macOS client application cannot work on macOS unless it's distributed via the App Store

That's bullshit and I'm pretty sure you know it. This is a technical forum and you should know better than to spread unsubstantiated Apple-bashing FUD.

MullvadVPN and ProtonVPN are two very well known VPN providers who's VPN apps you will not find on the Apple App Store and instead you are invited to download from their respective websites. It has been that way basically forever (or at least a very long time now we're in 2024), so its not like its a reflection of a recent Apple change either.

I actually quite like the fact that WireGuard is distributed via the Apple App Store and I thank them for doing that. It makes updating much easier, rather than having a dozen apps each with their own update process.
