Or just use a Mikrotik router which has Wireguard support built-in.
This is only for Mikrotiks that uses ARM processor. Some older that runs on MIPS doesn't get this update.
Before going to a long 3 month trip to Asia last year, I installed WireGuard on my Raspberry Pi 1 (original model B from 2012) which was running at home in US. I found PiVPN to be the easiest way to install Wireguard. I didn't know if I even needed a VPN but I was glad, and I was able to use internet as if I were at home. It was weird, but a lot of sites are blocked oversea, even though it shouldn't. For example, I c…
The one problem I encounter with Wireguard is the use of UDP. Some publicly accessible Wifi nets at shops don't allow UDP at all, and this effectively breaks use of the VPN. Yeah, there are utilities like setting up udptunnel or udp2raw and similar, but what a headache. I really don't agree with Wireguard's developers justification that it makes speeds terrible. Who cares? It'll be terrible using those utilities anyw…
It may appear a bit more flexible option, especially if forwarding all traffic to VPN entirely is undesirable.

I don't know first hand, nor am I speaking for my employer (who happens to be one of the two companies you mentioned), but if it was me, I would assume that if my company doesn't do business outside of the United States, then may as well deny traffic for services that wouldn't be available outside of the United States, since it is more often than not problematic traffic. This means sometimes legit traffic would be in…
More than a “small amount of legit pain” was the result.

I moved to Tailscale, until I find something simpler, I'm not moving back.
When I set it up it promised a 10 minute install time. For me a fair portion of that 10 minutes was trying to work out if it was working as my line speed was higher than I thought possible. It’s scary how quick it is to configure.
Otherwise, I really like the premise of Tailscale for quick and easy implementation.

My Canadian stepfather died. Family is not close and I’m in the US. The Canadian newspaper where his obit would be doesn’t allow connections from the US. More than a “small amount of legit pain” was the result.
