So far, I have WireGuard set up, and activate it when I need access.
This year I have considered Cloudflare tunnels to enable them only to issue SSL certificates (instead of signing my own like I did last year). But not sure if it is worth it or if I should just keep signing myself.
(Cert is mainly to avoid SSL warnings on iOS and browsers, so far I am the only one using what I host)
Might also be nice to not have to configure each device to use a different dns server (my own), but not sure the benefit is worth having that dns record “out there” and Cloudflare “in here”.
The DNS-01 challenge [1] allows for issuing SSL certificates without a publicly routable IP address. It needs API support from your DNS provider to automate it, but e.g. lego [2] supports many services.
I personally leave my Wireguard VPN always on, but as its only routing the local subnet with my services, it doesn’t even appear in my battery statistics.
Very good points all around.
