By default most people run Wireguard on port 51822. This of course shows that you are running a VPN. Is it better to run on another port, for example 443? But I heard that some ISPs frown on that.

What do the folks here think?

    Tbh I moved my VPS vpn to port 443 because some public networks (ie; public wifi) will block the default ports (ie 1194 for openvpn).

      I’ve had the opposite problem before. I’ve had public networks notice that the traffic on 443 is not actually https and kill it. That’s a little deeper than most places go though.

        I think the only place I had that was at a hospital that clearly had a snort tap running. And yeah the openvpn 1024 psk handshake in order to negotiate a TLS session is a dead giveaway.
