What kind of "hosting service" are you referring to? Just run wireguard on the home server, or your router, and that's it. No more infra required.

- _heimdall 2y agoI meant to say hosted service there, I.e. running a wireguard server to negotiate the VPN connections. The main reason I haven't jumped into hosting wireguard rather than using Tailscale is mainly because I reach for Tailscale to avoid exposing my home server to the public internet.
- rane 2y agoWhat could be the issue with exposing WireGuard at a random port to the public internet? It works over UDP so it doesn't even send any acknowledgement or error response to unauthenticated or non-handshake packets.
- _heimdall 2y agoThere may not be an issue at all, I'm just gun shy about opening any ports publicly. I don't do networking often and have never focused on it enough to feel confident in my setup and maintenance.
