AI wander with a certain range in 2D

How do I keep my unit wandering within a certain range in 2D? All the tutorials I find make sure the AI wanders within a range of itself. I want to make sure this unit stays near a castle.

private void Update()
{
    transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, wayPoint, speed * Time.deltaTime);
    
              if (Vector2.Distance(transform.position, wayPoint) < range)
                    {
                        SetNewDestination();
                    }
}

    private void SetNewDestination()
        {
            float randomX = Random.Range(-maxDistance, maxDistance);
            float randomY = Random.Range(-maxDistance, maxDistance);
    
            wayPoint = new Vector2(transform.position.x + randomX, transform.position.y + randomY);
        }

Thank you in advance.

// Random position within a square around a “target” object
private void SetNewDestination()
{
float randomX = Random.Range(-maxDistance, maxDistance);
float randomY = Random.Range(-maxDistance, maxDistance);

         wayPoint = new Vector2(target.position.x + randomX, target.position.y + randomY);
     }

     // Random position within a circle around a "target" object
     private void SetNewDestination()
     {     
         wayPoint = target.position + Random.insideUnitCircle * maxDistance;
     }
