Unless you are a network security expert, aren't you greatly increasing your risk by running that WireGuard server?

Why would you? Nobody can connect to it without your private key. Or is there something I am not aware of? Genuine question, as I am running wireguard in a few places and thought it was secure by default.

WireGuard is pretty minimalist and has great defaults, AFAIK if you manage to set it up you're good.

Unless your credentials leak, of course, but a security expert would have that same risk.

You do not need to be a "network security expert" to safely run a WireGuard server
