Hi,

I do not see any wireguard service there.

Have you installed the kernel wireguard-dkms modules, the wireguard-s6 service, and enabled it?

Check also our Wiki

wireguard

When I configure the wireguard for my system in order to be able to connect with Surfshark-VPN; can the name of the interface be a custom name or must it match the output of one in"ip addr"? Also, since Wireguard is in the Linux kernel according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WireGuard, I do not require the package "wireguard-dkms modules", correct?

As mentioned before, use our Wiki, instead of Arch's

dkms is the module (daemon), so in order to to start, you need the service too.

My issue is no longer present, though I am not sure what solved it. After one of the many reboots, I am able to connect. I apologize for inconveniencing  you today.
