This may be a simple question, but I could not find resources on that. Does creating a VPN into my home network using my router increase my attack surface? What are the security implications of that in general?

    Does it increase your attack surface? Yes. With proper precautions is this level of risk negligible? Also yes.

    You will be opening a port to the outside world. Anyone can try to use it. But if you are using key authentication it will be fine.
