Wireguard needs an endpoint

If I understand GP correctly, the goal is to SSH into an RPi on a home network. Since they mention DDNS, it's implied that they're connecting directly to their home router. What I'm saying is why not port forward directly to the RPi?

  • Yes you are right. If just connecting to the Pi, port forwarding is fine (and I use this).

    When adding more devices at home (IP cameras etc.) and not connecting just to the Pi then the Wireguard VPN comes in.
