I really like the "VPN into home first" philosophy of remote access to my home IT. I was doing openvpn into my ddwrt router fortunately years, and now it's wireguard into openwrt. It's quite easy for me to vpn in first and then do whatever: check security cams, control house via home assistant, print stuff, access my zfs shared drive, run big scientific simulations or whatever on big computer, etc. The router VPN endpoint is open to attack but I think it's a relatively small attack surface.

I use WireGuard to access all in-home stuff as well, but there is one missing feature and one bug with the official WireGuard app for android that is inconvenient:

- Missing feature; do not connect when on certain SSIDs. - Bug: When the WG connection is active and I put my phone in Flightmode (which I do every night), it drains the battery from full to almost empty during the night.

I'm very surprised by this omission as this feature exists on the official iOS client.
