    Chromium OS Universal Chroot Environment

  • If you're connecting to a WireGuard VPN from a Chromebook, I suggest using the official Android WireGuard app. My efforts to run WireGuard under crouton failed, because crouton uses a chroot, so I was stuck with the Chromebook's old Linux kernel (4.19) and unable to add kernel modules or network interfaces from within crouton. Similarly, crostini doesn't allow updating or using custom kernel modules, but it does provide a great way to SSH into VPN-accessible servers while the Android WireGuard app is active.
