I have spent lots of time fiddling with OpenVPN and Wireguard configurations. On a whim I tried out Tailscale and literally within 10 minutes I was up and running, it totally blew my mind.

Not a paid shill and I don't even use it that much but when I do I can count on it to work (which is a level of faith I never had in my own OpenVPN configs).

OpenVPN installer:

Install, and ready to connect!

There is a Wireguard version too, but I haven’t tested it, since 443 is all I have at work. Wireguard is preferred if you have an unfiltered UDP port.

TailScale and its exit nodes make this blog post a tweet. Install OS > Install TailScale > set as exit node > You are done.

As a side note, Tailscale does not use the kernel implementation of Wireguard. Worth considering if you plan to replace your hand configured setup.

Seconded. Tailscale installs in a snap and Hey, presto! runs great.
