People keep saying this, but it hasn't been true for me. I've had to reinstall PiVPN a few times, I assume because automatic updates may have broken it somehow. I tried manually configuring wireguard every time but just could not get it to work after hours of trying. PiVPN has always been extremely easy to install and configure.

Have you tried investigating the config it produces and comparing that to what you ended up with on your failed attempts? Way back when I first started using OpenVPN installing a quick-setup in a VM was how I found a glaring mistake I'd been making (with routing, it turned out, not the OpenVPN config itself).

Not that it massively matters if you are happy with PiVPN of course, but understanding more may help you diagnose issues should PiVPN ever fail.
