It's pretty slick and once Ubiquiti includes it in their router firmware by default I'll probably switch over.
I was bored, so after reading this, I replaced my OpenVPN with Wireguard via PiVPN. All went well apart from Wireguard requiring SecureBoot to be enabled. This meant I had to enter a password on the first boot - which was hard as it's a headless server

So, I had to dig out an old monitor, an HDMI->VGA adaptor, and pull the server from behind the couch. All to enter a pesky password.

Anyway, it's all working now and integrated well with PiHole.
