The more I am selfhosting the more ports I do open to my reverse proxy.

I also have a VPN (wireguard) but there are also 3 family members that want to access some services.

Open ports are much easier to handle for them.

How many users do you have and how many ports are open?

My case: 4 users (family)/ 8 reversed proxy ports

How many users and open ports have you?

    You’re comparing apples and oranges, reverse proxy and VPN serve two different purposes.

      Though in this context they’re both being used to provide safe access to local hardware from the internet.

      They probably want the pros vs cons of this specific situation
