Build your own private WireGuard VPN with PiVPN

Did you do anything to handle the event where, say, you lose connectivity and the system needs a reboot? Just curious about what would be the best way to handle that scenario.

While I didn't do this last time, in the future, I would plug the Raspberry pi to one of my smart power outlet (ie Kasa wifi power outlet) connected via HomeAssistant, so I can remotely restart it if Raspberry Pi becomes unresponsive. I also have another Raspberry Pi (again, the original 2012), so I could add redundancy by running second WireVPN on it, too.

You can have local watchdog process and reboot to failsafe configuration on next boot. You can also set a timer to do this unconditionally when trying a new network configuration.
