    I don’t understand why everyone assumes using a VPN means paying for a third party. I have Wireguard deployed in my NAS and I always have that VPN connection active on my phone to be able to access my LAN deployed services remotely, Jellyfin for example.

      For less technical people or just don’t want to deal with public-facing open port: Tailscale or Zerotier are both great option (use Tailscale if former)!

        Since Wireguard uses UDP and peers only reply to a received packet if it’s expected and valid, it won’t show up in port scans and barely increases your attack surface. Tailscale and Zerotier are quite nice, but personally I dislike NAT-punching protocols.

      I tried setting this up, and I can connect to my honeserver, but I’ve no idea how to access its LAN services. How does it work?

      It’s also worth mentioning that the VPN in question, Proton, offers one of the best free tiers of any VPN company.

      It’s because that is what is advertised to them.
