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?

    To me, the question is ‘How much do you secure a home server that’s only accessible with VPN?’ to which I would answer, secure everything, every last jot and tilde. Especially in a homelab environment where a nefarious actor could gain lateral movement. The data on my server, tho important to me, is not the prime concern as much as becoming a zombie in someone’s botnet. The very first Linux server I stood up got hacked overnight. Since then, I’m keen to lock everything down. I’ve been told I go overboard, but I’d rather that scenario.
