Much nicer to use in pretty much every aspect.

It can't be easier to setup that OpenVPN was on my router (just clicking a checkbox), but I am very interested in switching to a new VPN as I would like to be able to stay continuously connected from my mobile phone, and I understand that OpenVPN isn't great for this.

What is your preferred method for getting a WireGuard server installed on your home network?

Have a Linux machine that listens for incoming WireGuard connections, then it only takes generating server keys (private, public) and then adding your client's keys to the WireGuard configuration file. Setting up an OpenVPN server on a Linux box is quite a bit more involved.
