I'd much rather deal with setting up a few VPN gateways which is trivial at most...than securing a public web service. I deal with that crap enough at work.
There are a lot less variables to contend with with a single VPN endpoint which undergoes considerably more security auditing than N public web services. Many of which I don't have the time to review myself and mitigate if they decide to suck at coding.
Edit: I share my services with less than 5 households though.
Edit2: I'm not sure what public ipv4 or ipv6 has to do with this. My remote sites use starlink ipv4. I haven't setup ipv6 on those internally at all. They all tunnel via wireguard to my homesite.
When I set up wireguard it was just more complicated when one side didn't have a public IP. Whyyyy can't we adopt ipv6 already.
also fyi starlink has public ipv6 available if you DO wan't to set it up. been hosting a minecraft server off a starlink connection lol.
At my remote site it has little value. At my home I have IPv6 setup on Starlink as my secondary backup internet. I use Fiber as the primary that has a public IPv4 and IPv6.
Could just use a VPS though I guess if you want.
