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.

Instead of paying for vpn because of torrents, take a look at usenet instead. You pay of a newshoster but the downloads are fast and you don't need a vpn for it. Plus most hoster have vpn included in their offers just in case.
