How do you access your homelab?

For the past two years or so, I've been using Wireguard to tunnel into my homelab while keeping most services running locally on my network. It works well enough, but I'm wondering how others here access their homelabs.

I know this community has both people new to homelabbing and experienced self-hosters. I'd love to hear whats worked (or failed spectacularly) for you.

Some specific things I'm curious about:

- Are you exposing your services to the internet or just running them locally

- If you are exposing them, how? Using VPN solutions (Wireguard, Tailscale) or some type of reverse proxy (Cloudflare tunnel, NGINX)

- What made you choose your current setup

Curious to hear what everyone’s running, and whether you’d do anything differently looking back.
