> I have an automatic WireGuard VPN set up on my devices to VPN into my home network when I'm not connected to my SSID, so my local DNS still works remotely.

Exact same setup for me also.

I also run Tailscale since I have run into some remote networks that blocked wireguard's port.

How's the latency?

I like the idea and might set that up but my residential ISP doesn't have great peering and latency isn't great. I wonder if that extra roundtrip would be noticable or not.

I do this from my phone with crummy copper ADSL at home that gets <20Mbps in the uplink and don't notice the difference between it being on and being off. YMMV of course, and all I'm doing is basic web browsing, occasional youtube videos and chat apps but it's fine for that.

I'm on a 2 Gbps fiber link at home, so none as far as I'm concerned.

I do the same thing and am on 500mbps - don’t experience any issues
