When you have a wireguard link over internet to some router that is

There is no need to relate the use of encrypted tunnels (over internet)
to any regulations about encryption on ham frequencies. I don't think
there exist any regulations that would forbid this use of encryption.

Could there be a way that we can have some block
of 16 or 32 address
accessible from a simple wireguard link that would be created by a
request to the portal?
I agree that our current methods of connecting new hams are
pretty
klunky and could use some improvement.
We could do as you suggest, but if the wireguard traffic ever was
transmitted over ham frequencies, that would make that new ham liable
for violating their country's laws against encrypted traffic.
