You're mostly right. A VPS with WireGuard mainly hides your home IP and shifts exposure to the VPS.
It doesn't make things more secure unless you strictly control what traffic can pass through the tunnel.
If the VPS is compromised and your WireGuard config allows broad access, your home network is still at risk.The key is tight firewall rules and limiting the tunnel's reach.
Brute force attacks won't be blocked by this setup either. For added protection or region control, some use residential proxies like Fleetproxy alongside other security measures.
So it’s not extra security by default. It’s about how you set it up.
