Switched my servers (home and VPS) over from tailscale to wireguard this weekend. Works nicely on #FreeBSD in particular. #Debian was a little less straightforward but still not bad.
Next task is to figure out DNS rather than hardcoding the IP addresses. Not entirely sure what the right option is: I only want it for the sake of three addresses, and in particular don't want to send all my DNS through the VPS. I'd even just put everything in /etc/hosts, but I'd like it to distinguish between the VPN being up or down.

@benjamineskola Can you explain why? I would expect to see it the other way around.

@benjamineskola For simple DNS, I always recommend DNSMasq. I wrote about it a while back: https://medium.com/linode-cube/want-faster-easier-to-manage-dns-use-dnsmasq-a02517234d5f
