If wire guard is just bettr then I don't see any reason to suport OpenVPN anyway.
Legacy devices with OpenVPN support only.
i can't get wire guard to work on my home network so it is not better for me
edit: to be fair my internet connection is being tapped and recorded by law enforcement so i am assuming that is the problem.
Is that with any vpn provider? or hosting your own? And that is kind of a shame I guess you just won't be able to use Mullvad vpn, good thing there are heaps of other options.
only hear about protonvpn
heap?
How are you trying to using WG? I had issues with wg quick up or whatever it is, not bothered to check, but adding wireguard connections as NetworkManager interfaces works flawlessly for me.
I can't get WG to work in Qubes. OpenVPN just works
That's kind of weird, because the reason why I never bothered with (selfhosted) VPNs before Wireguard was because it was the first one that just worked. Granted, due to its nature, you don't get a lot of feedback when things don't work, but it's so simple in principle that there's not a lot that can go wrong. For external VPNs like this, it should just be: Load config, double-check, done.
Now do it on an obscure router firmware
