Hello, for Plex and backup photos, the main protocol is usually RTP or RTSP.

UDP offers quicker performance but may suffer from data loss based on network conditions. It's best to use UDP initially, and consider switching to TCP if you notice packet issues.

Packet loss indicates issues with data transmission, possibly due to network problems or hardware failures. It can also relate to upload failures if the connection is unstable.

It’s not necessary to rely solely on WireGuard since it offers a modern, efficient solution. While it’s designed for speed compared to older protocols like OpenVPN, there are other options available depending on your needs.

They’ll proceed with it, but let me know if there are any concerns. Support TLC or TCP?

WireGuard operates using the UDP protocol, I believe. If you have particular services requiring TCP, there could be compatibility issues. I’d give it a try and check if everything functions afterward.

This isn't the way a VPN operates.

It's worth noting that although you can route any IP-based protocol like TCP, UDP, ICMP, SCTP, IPIP, or GRE within WireGuard, the protocol itself relies on UDP for its own delivery. If your goal is to operate in a network that restricts UDP traffic to or from external endpoints but permits TCP, you can employ udp2raw to establish a TCP tunnel, allowing WireGuard to function effectively.

mainly use Wireguard if issues arise, otherwise try OpenVPN UDP, and if that doesn’t work, go with OpenVPN TCP. Interestingly, I noticed reliability issues with Wireguard on my connection—unexpected since it’s meant to be more stable—so I switched to OpenVPN UDP despite its slower speed.

You can pass them through a tunnel, but that doesn't guarantee they're reliable. Protocols like RDP may behave unpredictably on specific VPNs. Frequent key changes because of UDP aren't enjoyable for regular users. Switching between TCP and UDP seems the best option for stability. Extra effort adds unnecessary complexity.
