Seeking suggestions for a WG port to use with restrictive public wifi networks

[Steve Gilberd]

Have you tried 1701/udp? That's the standard L2TP port - it's unlikely to
be particularly useful on networks which deliberate block VPN access, but
I've encountered a number of networks on which that port was usable, and
not much else.

Cheers,
Steve
