SWAG reverse proxy with a custom domain+subdomain, protected by authentik and fail2ban. Easy access from anywhere once it's set up. No vpn required, just type in the short subdomain.domain.com and sign in (or the app keeps me signed in)
That’s probably this type of setup I would want but I miss the technical know how, so if you have a cool beginner guide
I used several separate guides plus help from a friend. Check out space invader one's YouTube channel. I'm not at my pc right now but I can gather some of the tutorials I used when I get back.
Here is the video I followed for SWAG. Note that this (and most of IBRACORP's guides, which are all fantastic) uses Unraid as the OS, which automates a lot of the processes.

And here is a written guide by the same group to go with or replace the video if this is more your speed: https://docs.ibracorp.io/swag-2/
I'll be honest, even for "beginners" (which I was when I started this) this is still a lot to take in. Let me know if you run into any specific questions and I can try to help you.
