VPN into Homenetwork Security (feddit.de)

This may be a simple question, but I could not find resources on that. Does creating a VPN into my home network using my router increase my attack surface? What are the security implications of that in general?

If you're worried about that, I can recommend a service like Tailscale which does not require permanently open ports to the outside world, offering quite a bit more security than an exposed traditional VPN server.

Huh, never heard of it! from what I gathered from the website its a central VPN? Wouldn't that be overkill for a homelab scenario? Thanks for your response!
