Noob advice regarding accessing outside my wifi - eviltoast

Hi everyone, this community is helping me a lot in starting my journey into the self-hosting world. I’m currently just experimenting using my main pc as server, but I’m planning getting an old minipc and let it running 24h.

I wanted to give acces to my hosted service from outside my wifi and since I noticed my Frirzbox router support natively Wireguard VPN i just gave it a try. It was super easy and worked flawlessly, I was able to access to my jellyfin library from 4g and other WiFi. BUT I noticed a big loss in connection speed while using my VPN (e.g. from mb/s 400 to 200 or even worse) and I’m not sure it’s a good Idea to have all my devices constantly under this kind of loss forever.

Am I doing something wrong? Do you suggest other routes in order to expose my services to outside? Thank you, and sorry if it’s a noob question.

    Seems like you have 400/200 (download/upload) speed which is sick imo. I have 180/20 atm, moving soon to a new place with fiber connection woop, cant wait

      I was talking about a reduction from 400 to 200, but yeah. It’s a really nice connection! I’m lucky!
