Maybe. add-apt-repository won't work, that's for sure. You could look it up and add it in /etc/apt/sources.d/ and then run apt update apt show mozillavpn and look at what it Depends on. If it's self-contained, it will probably work. If it drags in new versions of libraries, you could potentially trash your system. The term is FrankenDebian, to suggest Frankenstein's monster bolted together from spare parts. But wireguard is directly supported by Debian; it's in buster-backports. One option would be to get an Ubuntu system long enough to acquire the wireguard key -- perhaps in a VM -- and then use the key in a normal /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf setup. -dsr-
