About

• I faced bandwidth issues between a WG Peer and a WG server. Download bandwidth when downloading from WG Server to WG peer was reduced significantly and upload bandwidth was practically non existent.
• I found a few reddit posts that said that we need to choose the right MTU. So I wrote a script to find an optimal MTU.
• Ideally I would have liked to have run all possible MTU configurations for both WG Server and WG Peer but for simplicity I choose to fix the WG Server to the original 1420 MTU and tried all MTUs from 1280 to 1500 for the WG Peer.

Testing

• On WG server, I started an iperf3 server
• On WG peer, I wrote a script that does the following:
  • wg-quick down wg0
• Edit MTU in the /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf file

# Controlling my Buva Qstream ventilation system using:
# * A Wemos D1 mini lite (an ESP8266 based board)
# * A Wemos power shield so I can power the Wemos from the ventilation units 12V supply.
# * A simple PWM to 10V convertor like this: https://www.cheaptech.nl/pwm-signaal-te-voltage-converter-1-3-khz-0-10-v-pw.html
# * The amazing ESPHome firmware tool: https://esphome.io
# * Home Assistant to tie it all together: https://www.home-assistant.io
#
# I used to use a Raspberry Pi and some Python code for this. See https://gist.github.com/SqyD/a927ab612df767a0cc892bcde23d025c
# The Wemos approach seems more stable and doesn't require external USB power.
