Why use firewall rules when you can use network namespaces? If you use wg-quick you'll probably feel right at home with https://github.com/dadevel/wg-netns

I like wg-netns. It allows setup of a wireguard tunnel, similar to wg-quick does, in a Linux network namespace. So I can run some processes using the VPN, and others without.
By specifying the namespace in a systemd service file, I can let a service use a specific VPN.

We use a small drink kiosk touch pad powered by Rasperry Pi, using this simple software project: https://github.com/rwth-i6/drink-kiosk
Works great. Except the SD card seems to be dying now after 3 years of constant usage (well, less usage during the enforced home-office times).
