WgServerforWindows VS AutoActions

My OpenVPN solution is a pfSense plugin, but I run WireGuard in an always-on Windows Server 2016 Proxmox VM and just port forward incoming WireGuard connections to it. I didn't configure WireGuard on Windows manually, I used this tool which made it all point-and-click simplicity.

If you're running a desktop PC with Windows on it, you can try the following: https://github.com/micahmo/WgServerforWindows

The only problem is Wireguard is pretty hard to configure for newbies, but thankfully there's a simple automation process here for Windows: https://github.com/micahmo/WgServerforWindows

i have not used the guide you posted but i have used Wg server for windows. It’s a gui you can use to set up your server. maybe check it out and try it? you can get it here

https://github.com/micahmo/WgServerforWindows will most properly do this for you. Then you need to limit the clients so they can only access public IP's (no LAN IP's). I guess Windows Defender Firewall needs to be involved if need security. Eg. Not only configure internet-only access on the client, but enforcing it on the server-side. If the client are kind and only wants to access internet then you can configure it with AllowedIPs

Had nightmare with that script and sharing on interface would always bork after server reboot, only thing that gave me good results on windows was using https://github.com/micahmo/WgServerforWindows for some reason when using this tool it works and persists even after reboot on widnows

I am currently running a Wireguard VPN server on Windows 11 that I set up with Wg Server for Windows. For some reason, the VPN is reducing speeds by 409%, and I can't find out why. I am using a gigabit wired internet connection on my PC and connecting to the VPN via Wi-Fi from my phone, so I think the speed reduction should be minimal.

I've just discovered https://github.com/Codectory/AutoActions which detects when a user-defined process starts and can toggle HDR on, then back off again when it exits. I've gone through the list at https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_high_dynamic_range_display_(HDR)) to add entries for all the HDR-capable titles that I have installed.

For anyone with any of the myriad of HDR monitors that prefers to leave desktop mode in SDR RGB, I just discovered that the excellent Playnite game launcher has a feature where you can enable HDR on a per-game basis. Simply tick the "Enable HDR support" option under "Advanced" tab for the settings of the games that you want HDR turned on for. I was previously using the now-abandoned AutoActions for this, so glad to see there's an alternative in a tool I already use.

This is what I've been using, although I don't have an ultrawide monitor. I mainly use it to change it from 1440p to 1080p https://github.com/Codectory/AutoActions

You can use third party programs like https://github.com/Codectory/AutoActions which can automatically enable HDR first when you launch a game and automatically disable HDR when you close the game.

If your gpu supports HDMI 2.1 it will be better for bandwidth. As for HDR, while windows is getting better its still not great for desktop usage IMO. I like to use this tool here: https://github.com/Codectory/AutoActions/releases/tag/1.9.19.

There's an app called AutoActions which will allow you to automatically enable HDR on a per app basis which works really well for me. Unfortunately the author is no longer maintaining it, so hopefully nothing breaks!
