My home network is a fiction, all of the clients on it are either wired to the VPN host (except the smartphone, which just doesn't have access to most of my network), or connect through VPN even when I'm home. This only really became efficient enough to be viable for me with WireGuard.

Every time i start to think about similar architecture I start thinink why nobody come with idea that to add Wi-Fi support dump pipe mode (direct L2 mode if i'm right) and all security/packet droping handled by higher layer; like direct OpenVPN packets on air and everything handled by software. Ofcourse it will hurt some performance but security you can have few sacrifices.

Would you mind sharing details of your setup? Mostly the L3 structure.
