docs(vpn): describe the VPN as the bridge into the home network - #5002
Conversation
The VPN connects the Platform to the home network for integrations; web UIs are protected by the zero-trust sign-on gate. Appliances default to zero trust and move to VPN-only when identified as compromisable. Part of #5001 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Review comments at @docs/wireguard-vpn-access.md:
- Around line 12-18: Clarify the two-path explanation and table so the choice
describes user-facing exposure, not all traffic to an appliance; explicitly note
that a safe appliance may use zero-trust for its web UI while integration
traffic still uses the WireGuard tunnel.
- Around line 62-63: Update the rollout status table in the WireGuard access
documentation to list onward forwarding and routing to the target cluster
networks or internal admin gateway as a separate open dependency, unless the
UniFi tenant or another deployment layer provides it. Keep the existing listener
and peer status entries unchanged.

⚠️ Action not completed/Review rate limitedat 2026-10-17T09:39:34Z; its last review object is at an earlier head (3a068286bf, 09:36:21Z), not this one. Recovers when the CodeRabbit quota resets. - Codex: usage limit —
chatgpt-codex-connector[bot]replied that the Codex code-review usage limit is reached at 2026-10-17T09:43:34Z. Recovers when the Codex quota resets. - Cursor Bugbot: no
Cursor Bugbotcheck-run at this head; reported quota-limited by the maintainer's interactive session at 2026-10-17T10:40Z. Recovers when the Bugbot usage limit resets.
Scope: the whole rewritten docs/wireguard-vpn-access.md at this head, privacy first.
- Privacy: the new text names no address, hostname, port, subnet, node, load balancer, DNS provider or per-appliance record; the appliance list is explicitly kept private. The removed revision's values remain in Git history, which this PR cannot change.
- Links resolve:
../talos/control-planes/wireguard.yamlandunifi-management.mdexist at this head; the one inbound link (fromunifi-management.md) points at the file, not at a removed anchor. - Status table matches live state: platform#2462 merged (server end, no peer — matches the patch's phase split), platform#2473 open, unifi#2 open, platform#5007 open, platform#5001 open; unifi#80 is the open spike the privacy sentence cites.
- Claims checked: keys out of Git matches the patch (
${WG_SERVER_PRIVATE_KEY}placeholder) andunifi-management.md(gateway keys in OpenBao); "does not carry traffic yet" is stated before the bridge bullets that describe the design.
CI is green at this head; no unresolved review threads.
Verdict: no P0/P1 findings

Why
The maintainer decided that the VPN's job is to connect the Platform to the home network for integrations, and that web pages are protected by the zero-trust sign-on gate instead. The VPN design page still describes the older goal of hiding admin web pages behind the tunnel, so anyone reading it would plan the wrong work.
What
The page now explains the two ways into the home network: zero trust by default, and VPN-only for appliances identified as compromisable. It says how an appliance moves between them, what the tunnel carries, and what is in place today.
