and then you are giving access to your lan to people whose computer you don’t control and might be full of malware.

Tbh I forgot about giving access to others, my homelab is for me only lol

You only have to give them access to a specific port on a specific machine, not your entire LAN.

My VPN has a 'media' usergroup who can only access the, read-only, NFS exports of my media library.

If you're just installing Wireguard and enabling IP forwarding, yeah it would not be secure. But using a mesh VPN, like Tailscale/Headscale, gives you A LOT more tools to control access.

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

I have my doubts about that. Personally I would never do that.
