Reverse Proxy vs VPN: How do you access your home-server? (feddit.de)

The more I am selfhosting the more ports I do open to my reverse proxy.

I also have a VPN (wireguard) but there are also 3 family members that want to access some services.

Open ports are much easier to handle for them.

How many users do you have and how many ports are open?

My case: 4 users (family)/ 8 reversed proxy ports

How many users and open ports have you?

Probably the usual. 80/443, wireguard, a couple game servers.

For those of you who staunchly put your open ports on a VPS and wireguard tunnel it back to your home server, are you firewalling that wg connection to only allow specific traffic?

I used to, but less so now, I get that weakens the separation.

Mostly the vps is hardened to f and that's my defense but I agree it's a bad one.
