Could you provide more info about this? I am interested in knowing how OpenVPN is more anonymous than Wireguard since I have been using Wireguard more lately.

The problem are the endpoints. You can check out the code and the issues to get further involved. Here is a link that explains some plus/minus in fairly thorough yet not too technical way:

That being said, there is a lot to be excited about with it. I took a class long time ago from Dan Bernstein who is working on many of the encryption protocols and methods that wireguard will employ, and he is a really smart dude.

I've also recently read people using it in apps like tailscale (a mesh wireguard vpn but it unfortunatley depends on 3rd party authentication). So we'll see. Ultimately, having more choice is always a good thing.
