How much do you secure a home server that's only accessible with VPN? (programming.dev)

I have a VPS that I secure as much as possible since the IP is public, but does a wireguard-access-only homelab warrant the same efforts? Those with homelabs like this, what do you do?

You're kind of there but if you live the zero-trust life always be on the lookout for ways to improve security.

If something will make your setup more secure, is low effort, uses few resources and costs you nothing it would be madness not to use it.
