To be fair, wireguard is pretty painless.

Absolutely that’s what the internet was made for!

But family photos keep a bit more secure, Particularly if it’s syncing directly from your phone, I take a lot of explicit photos of my wife, but also code that I’m writing on my computer, or the kids playing, etc.

Dokuwiki + wireguard would be different but satisfy since if those needs, try it out of you have time.
