I’ve read a lot about using a VPS with reverse proxy but I’m kind of a noob in that area. How exactly does that protect my machine? Couldn’t an attacker with access to the VPS still harm my local machine? Currently I’m just using a WireGuard tunnel to log into my server, from what I understand you’d tunnel the service from the VPS to the homeserver and then on the VPS URL you could watch right m?
And do I understand correctly that since we’re using the reverse proxy the possible attack surface just from finding the domain would be limited to the web interface of e.g. Jellyfin?
Sorry for the chaotic & potentially stupid questions, I’m just really a confused beginner in this area.
