The setup I have to VPN into my home network works great... until the internet modem at home randomly decides to stop working. It's so annoying to be one button press away from things working again when that button is 150 miles away.

@malcircuit Really calls for a watchdog ping that cycles power to the garbage ISP-provided modem/router that can't properly keep itself working.

@malcircuit Mine has buggy UDP masquerading that can get into a state where it doesn't work but further attempts keep the bad table entry alive so I have a cron job cycling wireguard port every minute.
