Wireguard is blocked in my country, so I no longer can use Tailscale or other Wireguard-based solutions. My home server is behind a NAT. What other ways of secure private connection can I use?

I'll recommend this new VPN thing :

https://rayfish.xyz/

Its new so its evolving quickly with weekly releases and nightly builds.

Lots of people have told me about their grievance list due to AI having a big part in the development. It's a bunch of guys in the team, so there's the human element there.

As for my opinion, it's the only VPN I've managed to get working on my own.

I lost connection yesterday and I am not sure what happened but my home computer and my phone were on the same VPN constantly for a week. Jumping from the house WiFi to 5g didn't break the VPN connection but it did take a few seconds the first time I did it.

My other option would be Tailscale.

Update on the lost connection. I had restarted my computer and that changed my firewall device name for the VPN. So it was not rayfish related. It's been pretty steady since.

Looks promising, but the ai part throws me off too. But I'll give it a try

vibecoding and security don't pair well.

You're right. It's kind of how Michael Jackson music doesn't mix well with orchestra music:
