From my days of piercing the great firewall of china, as long as you’re somewhat technically adept AND have access outside somehow AND aren’t currently in the crosshairs it’ll work fine.

Are you using port 51820 or a different port for your Wireguard endpoint? Just curious as I have read where others have used different ports to circumvent DPI.

Yes im using 51820, but good idea to change it. I actually have 2 setups. One is a home router within a wireguard server builtin, the second is my Tailscale mesh network using an exit node at home in USA.

Ha. I run WireGuard and a Tailscale network also.

I've read that some people have used port 853 to mimic encrypted DNS or other ports less than 1024 to circumvent some WireGuard limits. I've yet to run into that.

Might want to check out https://yggdrasil-network.github.io for fun. I used to use it to connect to various networks.

Are you affected by the annual “internet cutoff”

My office in Moscow has IPsec tunnels and is fine, but we also see no outages other than the occasional last mile loss on one of the circuits (not at the same time). Maybe that’s because it’s a business line.
