I setup WireGuard on my Ubiquiti router and have profiles installed on my phone and Mac.

Extremely convenient for some basic privacy when on a public hotspot.

To anyone interested in running Wireguard on Ubiquiti have a look at https://github.com/dynamist/ansible-role-wireguard-vyatta

I can’t install the official WireGuard on my Macs that are stuck on High Sierra. Love WireGuard for Android and iOS. I think there’s a way to do it on High Sierra with brew but I haven’t dug too deep.

I am considering this to (on a ER4) but since they're are no dedicated ASICs I wonder what the cpu overhead it is for the router.

Nice! Is it one of the UniFi ones?

Have not tried this myself [1]; But I do have a USG, so I might when I have the time.

No, it's an EdgeRouter.

I'm not sure if UniFi equipment supports the run times necessary for WireGuard.

UniFi has its own VPN type of software. Not sure what it is or how secure it is, though.

It sucks. It doesn't work on Windows reliably. If you're going to do VPN on Ubiquity gear I either install OpenVPN on the EdgeRouter or pass the traffic through to another device to handle the VPN.
