Hey everyone, I was wondering about possible solutions to reach my home network when travelling. At the moment, I have a Wireguard VPN to my home router running OpenWRT. However, this is increasingly useless as Wireguard connections (even on port 80 and 443) are being blocked by hotels etc. (presumable DPI?). I have read about Shadowsock being a possible solution but struggled setting it up on my OpenWRT router.

Are there any other options? Preferably those that can run on an OpenWRT router, or on a server at home.

Any help is much appreciated.

Maybe try some TLS-based VPN? This should work almost anywhere, because it looks like a standard HTTPS connection.

Wireguard - even on port 443 - is special as it uses UDP protocol and not the more widely used TCP protocol.
