Hi

I see that my comment was ambiguous, it should be 'those Wireguard
tunnels that are multipoint should be configured as OSPF PtMP anyways.'

PTP Wireguard tunnels should work with OSPF PTP, of course.

My point was that even those Wireguard tunnels that are PtMP have flags
saying they are PtP:

wg0: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP>
