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?

    I have my home server behind a wireguard vpn access.

    While I am no security expert, or precisely because of that, I still try to follow security best practices for the internal setup if I can.

    Of course you propably do not have to be as vigilant as if your services were publicly exposed. But I believe it is still a good idea to have some “defence in depth” and not assume only one possible attack vector, e.g. what if there already is a bad actor on your home network maybe via a trusted device that has some virus. Also a plus is i guss if you ever decide to expose something later on you wont have as many issues.
