Comment on a VPN that is easily self-hostable and resistant to blocking?

I’ve run Wireguard on 443 (on my router) for exactly that purpose and never had a problem, even when my standard WG port was blocked by some businesses. I’ve since had to move to port 587 due to router conflicts and it’s worked fine so far too.

The battery drain on Android is negligible (at least for my uses) and WG is activated by Tasker whenever my home wifi is out of range. From what I can see WG is configurable via Docker compose.

Doesn’t work in China, can be easily blocked by censors

  I don’t need strong censorship resistance; it just has to work in offices and hotel WiFis.

    Many of the prominent https VPN protocols are for evading the great firewall of China. OP had that as a requirement, so it is not an unreasonable assumption.
    
    If you are evading less locked down firewalls, then you don’t need as stealthy VPNs.

  Most Chinese exits through port snooping. And you really need to be on a Chinese corp network to know - if you take your western mobile there they do very little blocking.
  
  I’ve been fairly successful with most China corp networks letting me out and in to self-hosted WG server on port 123.

    Because if you’re roaming it creates a VPN, basically through the Chinese network
    
    But it you want a lot of data, like for YouTube, you’re not going to want to pay roaming rates

  Russia has harsher blocks than China, meanwhile.

    Yes, they actually block legitimate websites too, apparently

Have you tried [github.com/zaneschepke/wgtunnel](WG Tunnel)

I use this WG client and it has options for auto-tunneling

  Thanks for the link. Will take a look.

    I quite like the option! I do love tasker, but if i only need auto tunneling this does it quite well!
