I'm talking full phone and blocking. Not just browser.

Edit: So many options! Thanks guys I'll go through them all and see what one I think will work best for me. I appreciate it.

While you have to open a port for wireguard, it doesnt respond to anything other than your clients with a key. It should be safe enough without any maintenance, but security updates are always a good idea. If you don't want to open port there are alternatives like tailscale or zerotier, but I have never tried them

Meshvpns like you described work good but having a real WAN connection works best in my experience.
