IS setting up wireguard on my router gonna block my access to my bank account (APP) ?
Wireguard going to limit my speed or make my connection slower?
Does wireguard will interfere with adguardhome home settings?
I have these confusing questions even tho i like wireguard and its ability to secure connection, if anyone could enlighten me id appreciate it so much
Thank you
Generally, no. But it could, in some situations, depend on the purpose of your Wireguard VPN. If you are setting it up as a 'server' (inbound connections for accessing your network or tunneling all traffic through your home connection while you are away), it will have zero impact. If you are configuring a 'client' that connects through a commercial VPN service, it is possible your bank may not allow connections that appear to originate form commercial VPN providers.
Depends if you're running as a server or client. A client might slow things down.
No.
Setting wireguard as server is better option you say?
Is it easy to set it up as server?
Because the instructions setting it up as client is easy but idk about server option
That depends on what you're planning to use wireguard for.
You should do this if you need it as a server.
What is your goal?
Remote access, secure connection and maybe gaming.
For this you would setup a server.
From where to where? What are you trying to secure?
What is your need here? What is limiting you now?
I just want to add an extra layer securty over my network
Based on my location when i connect to eu servers i get usually 120-100 ping if wireguard vpn will help reducing it that would be cool.
What’s the threat vector you are trying to secure against?
VPNs may or may not improve this. Typically they will make it worse, though.
3 months ago unfortunately my pc got hacked and i almost lost my discord and X account. So do you recommend it as more secure level or?
Wait really? My friend keep advising me to subscribe in some vpns so i get better ping. As he says!
Adding a vpn doesn’t typically change the security from hacks like that.
Keeping up to date with security patches on all of your networked devices, using reputable antivirus software, and being very careful about the software you install and the websites you visit will go much further than a vpn ever will.
It is possible it can help, but it could add extra distance that the data needs to travel, and distance equates to ping time increases.
Noted.
Actually its not mandatory for gaming yes aswell i aint playing alot lately. But i believe im in need for remote access, so using it as server wont slow my internet connection?
Correct, the server type config will not slow your internet connection. All it's doing is listening for inbound connections from your remote peers.
The road warrior config for Wireguard is the one that usually makes the most sense:
