WireGuard vs IKEv2 in FollowNet — which to pick on iPhone
WireGuard is the everyday speed pick on calm networks. IKEv2 shines when you bounce LTE ↔ Wi‑Fi — Travel profile uses it for that reason.
What to know
Both ship in FollowNet beside AmneziaWG, Hysteria2, and VLESS Reality. Smart Connect may avoid starting on IKEv2 when geo hints say the network is hostile.
How to use it
Home fiber → lock WireGuard. Commute with flaky handoffs → IKEv2 or Travel profile. Compare with Speed Test on the same server when possible.
Limits and honest expectations
Neither protocol unlocks streaming catalogs. Protocol choice is a tool, not an identity.
