    Wireguard on ASUS AX Router

    Is there any abnormal security or performance issues with leaving the Wireguard server turned on in ASUS AX routers (I have an XT8)? I don't need often and so I figure I will forget to turn it on when I do. I do not have remote management enabled. I am running the latest ASUS firmware.

    asus zenwifi xt8 + latest firmware + nest 3rd gen learning thermostat offline off and on?
