secure-wireguard-implementation
A guide on implementing a secure Wireguard server on OVH (or any other Debian VPS) with DNSCrypt, Port Knocking & an SSH-Honeypot
I highly recommend Pterodactyl Panel if you are just starting out on linux and/or (Minecraft) Server hosting in general. The setup process is very simple and the wiki contains step-by-step instructions that are simply copy-paste 90% of the time.
There's an unofficial installation script that installs all dependencies and does all the setup while asking you questions for the setup process.
It has no cons if it is configured well. I don't understand why you rebut something that is objectively better and it is done that way, security doesn't depend on the size of the server. A well configured VPN (there are plenty of guides like this one) adds an extra layer to you that is bulletproof, plus you have SSH configured well. I don't understand why debating on this. It is a standard system, used by everyone, that allows you to achieve high security. If for example, for whatever reason, you want to change your SSH configuration, even for a moment, making it insecure (maybe because you are configuring it), without VPN you cannot do that, with a VPN you can configure all your services safely. I don't understand what are the cons, the exploits? Everything can be exploited, look what happened with log4j, also SSH can be. For example several OpenSSH versions was exploited, name me a version of Wireguard that has been exploited. I really want to hear
