With the World cup happening right now and a lot of platforms doing livestreaming, I am curious from a networking perspective for operators to handle sudden spikes, livestream demand, ticketing portals, public Wi-Fi, and lots of international access during such major event. What makes defending event infrastructure different from regular operations?

This might be a newbie question. I understand the basic appeal of running WireGuard on a router where all devices behind it can use the tunnel without configuring each device separately. But I’m wondering if there are some downsides in normal home use. such as gaming latency problems, stream device behavior, and what happens when the tunnel drops etc.
