Dude, I admire the production quality of your content! Given VPNs are a pretty beaten theme, you still take time to present the guide in a most easy to follow and easy to reference way. Big respecc, as always, Wolfgang

9:32 Not “Command/Control+Shift+C”, but rather “Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+V”. For the folks, who are using Terminal for the first time :)

Had a bit of a hard time getting it to work. Oddly enough, the thing that finally made mine work was to turn off IPv6 on the raspberry. Worked immediately after I did that. Just FYI for everyone else out there.
@Rex_erat_magnus
You can also integrate pihole into the system. That way you have an ad blocker at the router level. You can adapt pihole to be recursive DNS so that your DNS queries disappear.

13:00 NOTE (applied to me and might apply to others) you need to change the line "use=if, if=eth0" the eth0 needs to be your ethernet adaptor (get it with "ip add" command". ex. mine was enp3s0, so had to change it to "use=if, if=enp3s0". Of course if yours is already eth0 then no need to change. Other than that everything worked! Thanks for the great and comprehensive tutorial!

I've had a wireguard setup for my home for a couple years now. Rather than a raspberry pi or dedicated computer I used our router. We're using an Ubiquiti EdgeRouterX. Its a small but decently pretty full featured $60 router and Wireguard has been ported to it for quite some time now. Once installed the configuration of each device profile can be done through the webGUI. Obviously only really an option if you're okay with your router and wireless access point being separate devices, but that's generally a good idea to begin with.

To answer your question about residential ISP blocking mail servers on their network it's to prevent people from hosting spam email servers.

I remember making my own VPN with help of a friend in Canada by sending him a RPI2 that i had laying around. It still works even though she moved out about a year ago.
@anthonyrussano
I like the way you breakdown these topics and go over the process so thoroughly while keeping it perfectly concise enough to understand.
@mangoc4169
Thanks for this, Wolfgang. Used a RPi 3B+ running RPi OS Lite (64-bit). Works perfectly. Noted that Nyr's install script seems to be updated from the time you made this video; it differs slightly, but straightforward nevertheless. Cheers!
@MrRandomposter
Yes!!! On the second attempt it worked flawlessly. So good using Powershell instead of Putty. There is a confusing part where setting ddclient true/false. I just had to ignore your narration and set it as you had it on screen. I use my VPN to wake on LAN my PC from being completely turned off then remote access it with teamviewer and then shut it down. Access or start my plex server for friends when travelling for work using motels protected wifi which wont allow it. Hopefully my dynamic dns works rock solid and I wont even need to access the rp3 for ages. Love an elegant solution. Ethernet and power. So good

I think it's great that german telekom now has wireguard built in on their latest speedport routers. You just need a dynamic-dns service and with literally a click of a button you have a vpn. The only problem i could think of, is that it is single-user only.
@oldtapes3697
well getting the DDClient configured ended up being something of a nightmare but as soon as I cracked that my new vpn is running perfectly, thank you for the very useful tutorial
@r.cantini
This was the only tutorial in the world that actually worked for me! :O
@nekoill
When I subscribed I didn't expect to find THAT much useful stuff here and I already loved your channel, imagine how much I love it now! Not in my wildest dreams could I imagine that I found essentially a one stop shop for a beginner/pre-DevOps stuff. Love you, bro❤
@antivaxxtoaster8919
Works like a dream 2 years later Thank you so much for this
@kissingfrogs
accessing my home network remotely is what I use ssh tunnels for, but your solution is way more streamlined. Thanks for sharing
@niklas879
Thanks for the video. Now I know why my Raspberry Pi didn't work with solar power. I put it on my roof now instead of the window ledge, hope it works 🤞👌
@dempa3
Man, I wish this homegrown solution could be used for sharing all of my favorite Linux distros. But I do not live in Holland. Maybe I'll give the self hosting via VPS provider a shot! Thanks for your understandable and accessible videos!
