If you haven't given WireGuard a try yet, now is a good time.

Securely and reliably connecting all my devices with WireGuard was a big reminder to me that there's a much better internet hiding under the hub-and-spoke consumer services model. The internet can be so much more than our phones connecting to large data centers.

Can you give us an illuminating example of the fulfillment you’ve gained from ... ip-over-udp tunneling? It doesn’t really sound that revelatory?

Not OP. I have a wireguard server setup on my home network. Client installed on my mobile devices. The always on UDP connection seems to use less battery than my previous setup of a TCP VPN. I use this setup to allow my mobile devices to use my home recursive DNS server, which blocks tons of domains for tracking, ads, etc.

It has a relatively seamless setup and is far from bloated, encryption is efficient on low-powered ARM devices and it works surprisingly well in environments where internet connections are shoddy at best.
