The recent updates to the WireGuard documentation enhance clarity on configuring access control for HomeAssistant devices within a local network. New examples illustrate how to effectively use the post_up section of the WireGuard server configuration, including specific iptables commands to restrict access. The improvements also clarify the use of CIDR notation, enriching user understanding and making the documentation more practical and accessible for configuring network security.

Poem
In the realm of wires and digital light,
A rabbit hops forth, with joy in flight.
With HomeAssistant safe in its nest,
Access controls now are at their best!
So let’s configure, and let’s not fret,
With clearer guides, we’ll have no regret! 🐇✨

Proposed Changes
I had an issue about accessing every device in my LAN network, and as I wanted to shrink the possible attack surface, and cut off the possibility of accessing for example the router. The Wireguard is really secure, although there is a possibility of your WG client config file to be stolen, and thus I feel safer with single WG client config with control what devices I can access from external network.
I have spent a lot of time to find desired solution, and I would like to share it with the others, so you could be safer with your HomeAssistant :)
