Is Wireguard a requirement? If you just want to go around censorship / hide your traffic, you can try using github.com/XTLS/Xray-core

Thank you, I didn’t know much about this project before. How does it compare to the usual IPSec, OpenVPN, Softether and Wireguard?

To be honest, I’m also not that knowledgeable about it even though I do have it running on a VPS. And can’t say I’m too knowledgeable about networking/VPNs either - I do use Wireguard which I also manage, but that’s about it.
So, some bulletpoints instead:

Thanks for the note. Good to know that it is more like a proxy which simulates SSL: makes it similar to stunnel. I will likely have to run a VPN protocol underneath with this on top.
Funny, I heard obfsproxy is used to circumvent the Chinese firewall too. I’ll have to take a look, thanks

Yeah, tor obs4 bridges.
But somehow, my high school managed to block those. My high school was literally more locked down than the great firewall of China.
I set up: github.com/cognetwork-dev/Metallic
At first, then I eventually switched to github.com/v2ray/v2ray-core as metallic struggled on some things. Both v2ray and xray are built for the great firewall of China, and iirc, they use the same tech.

Yeah, no problem.
I did try wrapping Wireguard inside of xray, but didn’t manage to make it work. Not sure if it’s impossible, but yeah.
xray clients can work as a system-wide VPN if you’re worried about usability. Just no communication between different machines connected to the same server (probably).
