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

    Performance is a concern for me. My router is not powerful enough to do VPN and NAT and the same time. Another concern is WG cannot do multiple peers without assigning each peer a unique key, so when I need to spin up dozens of servers I couldn’t connect them to my router using one key pair. OpenVPN can so this, but then there’s performance issue again.
