I already host multiple services via caddy as my reverse proxy. Jellyfin, I am worried about authentication. How do you secure it?

    Oh yeah, there’ll be some overhead if you’re running Wireguard on a router. Hitting your router’s public IP won’t go out to the internet though - the router will recognize that it’s its IP.

    It’s common to run Wireguard on every computer/phone/tablet/etc where possible rather than just on the router, since this takes advantage of its peer-to-peer nature. For home use, that’s how it was originally designed to be used. Tailscale makes it a lot easier to configure it this way though - it’s a bit of work for vanilla Wireguard. Tailscale does support “subnet routers” if you have any devices that you want to access over the VPN that can’t run Tailscale.

      I don’t think I’ve ever encountered what you say… I use WG it to access a network, not a device. I have a few dozen devices, physical and virtual, why should I set up wg on all of them? Tailscale, maybe, it’s a different story, but I prefer to “self host” and not rely on a 3rd party provider. Wireguard was relatively easy to set up too, a few years ago… and in the meantime, if I need to add a new client, it’s a two minute job.
