   They make the already great wireguard even better! Installation and configuration is a breeze, can easily connect to machines behind firewall(s) without altering anything.

   Definitely made life easier.

• Macbook air M1 used with Remote Desktop

  My recommendation would be to use Tailscale (https://tailscale.com/) so you don't expose RDP to the internet. The basic Remote Desktop Client will work but if you want something more complex, Remote Desktop Manager is great https://devolutions.net/remote-desktop-manager/. Source: 5 months ago

• Enabling Remote Access

  You will need to go to their website Tailscale click the link or just go to tailscale.com. You will need to setup an account and then download the program and login to that once installed. Source: 5 months ago

• Is it possible for a sysadmin to block only some packets from a VPN connection ?

  I too haven't used the client-nat directive in some years (I currently implement 1:1 NAT with pfsense to access my network because I'm too lazy to change the networks subnet from the default) so I decided to retest and it does appear that OpenVPN Connect clients do not properly support the client-nat directive but the traditional OpenVPN server/clients still do.
