Options for protecting home IP on my self hosted home srver (startrek.website)

I've been running a home server at home running CasaOS for a few months now. I use a wireguard vpn to remote in to use Jellyfin on my phone etc. Basically i want to know if there's a way i can both hide my public IP (such as using a conventional vpn for torrenting) while still being able to remote in to my server?

I've been thinking of running running all my network traffic through my server and setting up some sort of firewall too, but I'm fairly new to this as this was originally just a project I did out of spite after getting rid of Spotify. I'm fairly green when it comes to networking and servers, but I'm otherwise pretty good with computers and can muddle my way through most things.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I went through the same thought process as you a while ago, also with CasaOS. I ended up using the *arr suite, Jellyseer and then this container via Portainer https://haugene.github.io/docker-transmission-openvpn/. All the instructions are on there for whichever provider you go with, and all it took was making sure the env variables and permissions were in the right place.

Thanks for the recommendation. Once I found the "n" I mistyped as "m" in one of the file directories it actually went quite well. I looked at setting up sonarr & radarr, but its really just me and my partner using it right now, so I'll put that on the back burner until I get more storage.
