+1 for wireguard. I leave it on always. Only thing I have trouble with is Sonos, which does not even connect to the system even in my own network.


I believe the issue with Sonos and the VPN is making mDNS or multicast available across subnets.

I struggled with a similar issue with Spotify to play to networked devices from my device.

This may point you in the right direction...

If it’s actually a mDNS/multicast issue, you can run an mDNS proxy or similar to bridge the networks. I don’t have a Sonos setup to test with, but it works for other mDNS services.


My easy fix for that was to use Tasker to disable my Wireguard tunnel when on my home network and enable it again when I'm not. The official Wireguard app has Tasker integration, so you can use it to manage individual tunnels if you like.
