    Is using a VPS with WireGuard really more secure for hosting web services?

    What is the real security value of VPS + WireGuard for hosting web services: is it more than just IP masking?

    If someone gets into your VPS, they could still use the WireGuard tunnel to poke around your home network. WireGuard’s encryption is great for keeping data private, but it won’t stop someone from brute-forcing stuff like Jellyfin if they find a weak spot.Personally, I’d rather beef up security on my home setup. Stuff like fail2ban, IP whitelisting, and geo-blocking does the job pretty well without adding the hassle of a VPS or dealing with extra latency. If you want a bit more control or separation for certain tasks, you could look into tools to manage your connections better, like LightningProxies.
