I used to want Wireguard on my router. It was in fact one of the reasons why I went with an EdgeRouter X.
Then one day, when I was away from home and actually needed the VPN, it absolutely melted. Basically everything on the router stopped working, and I suspect it was Wireguard since the router went haywire when I was actually using it extensively. Needed a hard power cycle, which I couldn't actually do.
These days I just leave my router to do its basic duties and have a Raspberry Pi dedicated to nothing but Wireguard. Haven't had issues since. The Pi 2 Model B also performs better for Wireguard and I imagine that the Pi 4 could saturate my 100 Mb/s upload.
- liuliu 5y agoI sort of only want WG support in EdgeRouter as WG client such that my homes in different geographical locations can share the same network transparently. Is that still a good use?
- Hamuko 5y agoSince there's no actual WG support in EdgeRouters and the experiences I've had with the community-maintained version, I'd personally not go that route. You can probably get better bang for your buck by configuring a couple of Raspberry Pis. Granted, it's been a hot minute since I've last tried WG on EdgeRouters.
