I am looking for some advice on how to (if possible) setup a wireguard network for my home network and when I am connected to that network have a remote wireguard server act as an exit node, so that all external traffic appears to be coming from that remote server whilst keeping traffic bound for the home network local (only accessible via wireguard network)

Local server is a Debian box and other devices will run a flavour of linux. Remote server is already running wireguard and I can connect to that if I bring up a route on each device, but ideally I want to connect to my home net and automatically have outbound traffic go via the remote server. The remote server's wireguard config is not under my control, which may make this unfeasible

You can set this up with your router connecting to the remote server and routing your client traffic through there instead of the gateway your router is using for WAN.

Specifics are router... Specific.

You can do the same with a vm in your network acting as a router or proxy as well, pick your poison.
