+1. I have Wireguard set up on all my mobile devices and configured to automatically start when connecting to any wifi that isn't mine, so I can take my devices anywhere and I'm still on my home LAN. It works seamlessly and flawlessly.
I self-host a lot of services, and without Wireguard (or equivalent), remote access just wouldn't be realistic.
- thepill 1y agoOn Android devices? If so: how? :)
- viraptor 1y agoI don't use it with wireguard, but Zerotier works just fine on Android.
- Jarwain 1y agoAs does tailscale!
- ParetoOptimal 1y agoOr headscale: https://headscale.net/stable/ https://headscale.net/stable/
- _heimdall 1y agoThis is my recommendation for anyone that wants full control. I use Tailscale, purely out of laziness and a willingness to trust them today, but I'd move to head scale if either of those caveats changed.
- fluidcruft 1y agoMy only issue with wireguard/tailscale is that somehow my work IT has managed to make it unusable on our wifi. It's really annoying. I'm pretty sure it's a misconfiguration on their end but they don't have any reason to care. OpenVPN does seem to always work everywhere (presumably because outside contractors and support personnel use OpenVPN when onsite so it's a squeaky wheel that matters) so I've moved to that instead. Beyond that I can't figure out what the hell is the problem and the way IT works, they have no reason to fix it. I did get them to somewhat work on it by reporting Google VPN as randomly failing, but they just fixed Google VPN and nothing more than that. So anyway wireguard is great until you encounter bullshit corporate firewalls.
- Arch-TK 1y agoHow did you automate it to start on networks which are not yours? This is like the only piece of the puzzle for me.
- mcpeepants 1y agoThis is a built-in feature of the Wireguard app on iOS, not sure about other platforms.
- george_perez 1y agoAnd specifically it's based on VPN On Demand. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/vpn-on-demand-rules https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/v...
- runjake 1y agoFor the Tailscale app on Apple platforms it’s called VPN On Demand. Here's how you can configure it. https://tailscale.com/kb/1291/ios-vpn-on-demand https://tailscale.com/kb/1291/ios-vpn-on-demand
- sph 1y agoDoes it still eat your battery? It used to, and it was so annoying I moved to Nebula
- Arch-TK 1y agoTailscale is built on wireguard but it is not just wireguard. I want a wireguard only solution.
- runjake 1y agoGot it. The key there would be to find a WireGuard app that supports the "VPN on Demand" feature of iOS. It should be called out on their app page in the App Store, if not in their documentation.
