    My Ubiquity Dream Machine has Wireguard integrated. So it’s literally just a few clicks to spin up a server. I use it in combination with a port forward on my FritzBox and a dyn ip using https://dynv6.com/ and a domain i had laying around anyways.

    Regarding Wireguard: Wireguards (imho) best feature is split tunneling. You can decide which ips or subnets to route through the tunnel. See AllowedIPs.

    As a default it says something like

    AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0

    Which means “just route everything through me”.

    However you could allow your subnets only. Like this I use my private and my business vpn at the same time.

    AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.0/24,10.0.1.0/24,10.0.2.0/24,10.0.3.0/24

    You mentioned, that you have not a lot experience with networking, so your subnet may look like that. Just check your local ip and replace the last digit with 0/24

    AllowedIPs = 192.168.2.0/24

    This was my opinion too. However like a year ago my best friend asked me: “Hey, I want to try linux. Which distro do you recommend?” I told him, that I recommend Linux Mint for beginners. And that I use Arch. Like a day later he wrote me again: “I’ve installed Arch, lol. Wasn’t that hard. The guide is actually very straight forward.”

    This changed how I see Arch today. Arch isn’t super complex or hard to use. It’s just a bit more time consuming to set up. On the other hand it just works once set up.
