Yea the catch was we were asking for TLS for a long time, and this was pre- Let's Encrypt, so those patching on their own didn't have a free (minus work) way to handle it. It took a releasable POC to get action.
All out devices just have a permanent Wireguard client since it uses basically no battery, and then a allow rules for households. If you don't want to run the client, and don't want to take the time to learn, you don't get access. But I totally get how that's not for everyone.
Yeah, my problem is televisions.
If it was just tablets phones and desktops I could do SSL client certificates.
For my personal use I'm using tailscale and it's wonderful.
Ahhh. I put the wireguard client on the router, so it's more of a site to site setup for TVs.
