  • Raspberry Pi:

    1. Install wireguard (as a server)
    2. Set up a peer/client config
    3. Open wireguard port on the router

    MiniPC:

    1. Install wireguard (as a client)
    2. Add server config and connect to server
    3. Verify connection
    4. Ensure connect on boot

    Points to note:

    • Configure them both locally and ensure you have a connection before you move the pi to another country

    • If you’re behind a CGNAT on one network, that’ll change some things. That network will have to be the client. (If both are behind CGNAT, you’re out of luck and cant use this - will have to be tailscale or other method)

    • If using a domain name make sure its always pointing to your ip (in case it’s not static)

    • I think if you set allowed ip as 0.0.0.0/0 on the client it’ll route all traffic.

    Edit:

    Saw your comment about just having qbt use the vpn. Check this guide out




  • My experience has been OSMAnd feels “heavy”. It is a large app but i guess there’s so much it just feels sluggish. But it has the most features which I use as my go to reference.

    Organic maps (and CoMaps) feels sleeker and quicker but when im on the road I want traffic updates.

    For the last few years my go to is Magic Earth for the traffic data.

    My issues with OSM is a lot of missing information and incorrect roads. I have contributed updates but when I’m driving and I come across something wrong there’s no way for me to flag it so i can revisit it later.

    All in all I’m still torn between them all and still waiting for the day one ticks all the boxes.

    More often than not I find I end up using Google Maps to get me out of a wrong or missing turn or to the final destination because finding places on OSM isn’t there yet. If OSM gets something wrong when I’m driving I don’t have time to faff around trying to fix it so GMaps takes over the rest of the way and I dislike having to do so
