    Peer-to-peer VPN

    n2n - seems easy and maintained, but need to manually compile own binary

    ZeroTier - seems more complicated than n2n, but has an OpenWrt package

    Discontinued The easiest way to run WireGuard VPN + Web-based Admin UI. [Moved to: https://github.com/wg-easy/wg-easy] (by WeeJeWel)

    WireGuard seems to become a standard, I even have a WireGuard server already set up to provide a VPN for remote access for laptops. But I am not sure about the WG configuration on the OpenWrt router, setting the right network and firewall rules, ensuring only admin traffic goes over WG, etc.
