Is that really an issue if all you're exposing is the VPN port? Wireguard for instance has industrial-grade encryption. Even open port 51820 should be fine

With wireguard in particular, you're probably not running much risk, as wireguard runs over UDP, and as long as you're not connecting with a correct (recognized) key, it will not even generate a response, so a potential attacker has no way of knowing for sure that wireguard is running on a given port.

I mean, probably not. But I like the idea of keeping everything closed anyways.
