Why not use Wireguard from your phones all the time, even at home? Just performance?
It would be extra overhead for no reason. Why keep it on when Tasker automates it?
I don't know about your particular use case, but I've found that some apps experience problems when the IP address of a resource they're using changes out from under them. Like either they experience temporary connectivity issues during the transition or even just stop being able to reach the resource until restarted. However if your setup is working for you, that's great!
I'm confused why the IP address of a resource is changing for you when you're moving in/out of the wireguard tunnel? In my setup the LAN IP addresses always stay the same whether I'm on the local network or accessing remotely, It's just the route to them that changes (over a different ethernet adapter). Perhaps that's what you meant, or there's some crazy configs out there I'm unaware of.
I fully admit I may be doing this wrong. But in order to connect to a server over Wireguard I'm connecting to it over its Wireguard IP address. (And if I'm not connecting to it over Wireguard I don't connect to it over a Wireguard IP address.) It's relevant to note that I'm not using Wireguard as a traditional VPN where all traffic bound for the internet is tunneled over Wireguard. Instead, I'm using it strictly for point-to-point tunneling from a client to one of my servers. In other words, my default routes don't go to Wireguard. Maybe that's the difference here?
