I have a Jellyfin server, NextCloud instance, etc that I share with friends and family. Currently, I serve them over the open-internet using Cloudflare tunnels. Obviously this has some security implications that I don’t love. Also recently one of my domains got flagged as malicious by google and now Chrome browsers won’t go to the site - annoying.

I use Tailscale already to access my server infra remotely, but honestly I don’t see this as a viable option for my non-technical friends and family. Plus, I need to support all kinds of devices like smart tvs. How do you fine folks deal with this issue?

    I have a domain which points to my router (over dynamic DNS). My parents’ Router connects to my home network via Wireguard using that. All my services have subdomains, for which I have set static DNS records that point to the local address (192.168…) of my server. This way, I only need to expose Wireguard to the public.
