Why I use it
Its job in the stack
I use WireGuard when devices or servers need a private network path without exposing an administrative service to the public internet. Its small configuration surface makes the connection easier to understand and audit than many older VPN stacks.
The tunnel is only one control. Keys, routing, endpoint security and service authorization still determine what an authenticated device can reach.

What it does not solve
Key distribution and routing require care. A compromised peer can still misuse whatever the network permits.
