I want to compare the security of running my own:

  • Wireguard server
  • http proxy
  • socks5 proxy
  • Shadowsocks proxy

I currently port forward for wireguard, but would like some backups/alternatives, and censorship circumvention options. How risky or insecure are these protocols? Can I use them as normal VPNs into my homelab?

Any resources to research further?

Also: should I use my IP, or a domain? Which is better for censorship circumvention?

    I use both WireGuard and OpenVPN to vpn into my home network.

    However, it doesn’t matter whether you use a domain or just up… if you get blocked from accessing either / both … you’re screwed. 🤷🏼‍♂️
