Hi guys,

Just wanted to see why people would expose services either through a reverse proxy or normally, if technology like WireGuard and OpenVPN exist?

Convenience would probably be the top answer, but is it really worth the risk?

Thanks

    I would say assumed complexity. Most people think vpns are complicated, so they don’t even try.

    This irritates me. My first steps into running a VPN was with an Asus router running merlin-wrt. It took a few minutes and I had separate profiles for my laptop, my phone, etc.i have since upgraded past this router so I now run openvpn on a vm so I don’t have to reconfigure everything next time I upgrade my router.
