yeah but even with plain wireguard the peers can be limited. you just have to figure out the firewall rules, or use opnsense as your wireguard server because it figures the harder part out for you.

it’s not that it cannot be done. the issue is that something as simple as acceding a service should not require to configure wire guard and routing rules. plenty of FOSS projects are safe to expose through a simple reverse proxy
