Wireguard, unlike SSH, behaves like a closed port unless the client successfully authenticates. As far as an unauthenticated client is concerned, you don't have a listening service ("opened port") at all. I mean, yeah, if you unfortunately have to deal with CGNAT, then you gotta do what you gotta do. But other than that, what's the issue with self-hosting Wireguard?

> But other than that, what's the issue with self-hosting Wireguard? User simplicity. I am not the only one on my home network which I want to be able to access some parts of the things I build. Device support. I appreciate that tailscale has gone out of their way to bring tailscale to even more devices than even wireguard supports. Namely apple tv, wireguard does support iOS but doesn't seem to currently support apple tv or maybe just my version of apple tv.
