Try switching between IPv4 and IPv6 networks, or reaching a peer on non-default/primary network on Windows.

Not denying it would usually have better connectivity than TCP based ssh.

As an anecdotal point, I’ve been using always-on WireGuard (using a setup that’s essentially a fork of Algo) on my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook for months, via the native clients for each. I routinely hop between countries, SIM cards, WiFi networks, etc. I hit issues with Apple’s built-in captive portal detection (which has to kick in so it gives me the captive portal outside of the always-on VPN), but the WireGuard tunnel itself has been pretty much solid.

Where do you encounter IPv6 in the wild?

There were multiple complaints on the mailing list about roaming not working on IPv4/v6 transitions. I believe it was mobile vs. wifi.

I've come across it on Wifi hotspots as well for some reason, it felt like the were deployed by a telecom company (cellular being most common way for non tech people to use IPv6 on my sites).
