My router supported OpenVPN out of the box so I just use that and have remote connections disabled in all of my software
I'm curious what the other, more advanced users here have to tell me about it because I'm still new to the self hosted stuff and that was the first thing I thought of to do
Wireguard is just much faster connection-wise. Built into the kernel too. Since it came out I haven’t gone back to openvpn.
Nothing wrong with openvpn otherwise. More config options.
Something like Tailscale makes wireguard setup dead easy.
This is what I use too. Also using the provided dynamic dns server just makes this dead simple and has been working for years. Is there a good reason to switch?
