Comment on My setup (so far)

Is there a particular reason you’re not selfhosting Wireguard, instead relying on a commercial provider? I’m running this thing on my phone, via F-Droid: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.zaneschepke.wireguardautotunnel (it eats battery if you enable keepalive, but you normally don’t need keepalive, so leave it unset).

I tried just using WIreguard and I struggled with with setup. When it fails to connect it’s really hard to figure out what the issue is (port forwarding on one of the routers? firewall on the server? something else?). WIth my netbird setup I’m also relying on DNS, groups and exit node setup. I think it’s just easier with a clear dashboard like the commercial tool have. Netbird is also free and I’m planning on selfhosting netmaker.

You mentioned you are using openwrt, you can host wireguard right on your router. If you only have one LAN it’s very easy to configure, there are a few examples on YouTube.
