It's been a while since I've worked with linux networking. I would have thought it would give you a VIF in some form or fashion that you could attach to a bridge. Is that not the case?

EDIT: *and proxy arp requests through

By "it" do you mean Wireguard? I haven't used it, but you need a special type of virtual interface for bridging, a tap device can do it, a tun cannot. From some searches, Wireguard doesn't support operating on a bridge. OpenVPN, which is what I've used in the past, supports both tun and tap interfaces.
