Hey.

So I would like to use wireguard (wg-quick up/down) as a non root user for my vpn, how can I achieve this?

I remember getting it to work on void, since I have a dmenu script which doesn't use sudo at all.

Thanks.

Whatever that dmenu is, I know it's possible to control wireguard from nm-applet, if you happen to be using NetworkManager.

You may have network capabilities enabled, which should allow a regular user to do privileged things with network.
