https://github.com/erebe/wstunnel seems like the obvious solution.
Or maybe OpenVPN over normal TLS on port 443.
You could try to run Wireguard on a different port which would be otherwise used by some very common service, maybe there's some general exemption for port 21, 22, 53, 80, 443...
Wow, wstunnel seems to be a very elegant solution, thanks! However I still need to figure out how to get to my server behind a NAT
OpenVPN is my current method. Got it running on port 443 with user certificate authentication, and tls-crypt on top of that to completely mask the protocol from VPN detectors.
Also technically prevents DoS attacks, but that wasn't my primary goal.
Does netbird run on wg on on ovpn as well? Maybe that's an option...
I'm not really an expert on VPN, but I believe solutions like Tailscale, Netbird, Pangolin all leverage the Wireguard protocol.
Yeah, WG is by far the best way to do this kind of networking.
NetBird is Wireguard yes.
