Cool. When I set my VPN up, Wireguard didn’t do iOS yet, but I’m interested in it. Please post back to this thread with a short experience report, if you wouldn’t mind. :-)

So far it's been really good. It's very good at staying on all the time and it was really easy to setup. Right now it's running on a raspberry pi but since I took down my ipsec vpn container, my ram/temp/cpu usage has gone down quite a bit.

I still need to spend a minute configuring things like dynamic dns in case my IP changes but I'm really impressed right now.

Thanks! Just ordered an Rpi4 for home routing duties, I’ll give it a try there first.

Btw, I also highly recommend a case cooling case for the rpi4. I got the aluminum one at https://flirc.tv but I think anything like it will do. It dropped the idle temperature by quite a bit. I think it went from ~75ish to about 45

Good call. Those are pretty cases.

I saw some tests indicating open+fan really dropped temps vs closed+fan so I ordered one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXSMY1N

I'd be curious to see what the idle temperatures land on.
