I use traefik combined with crowdsec, there is a plugin for that. There is some pretty good tutorial (in german) on goneuland.de

Netbird has a reverseproxy that's super easy to setup to point to one of your netbird nodes.
Is the server at your house? Or VPS?
My server is at home
The way that I handled this, was to get a $5 VPS, and have it proxy all my traffic over wireguard. Your DNS records (and SSL cert) all point to the VPS public IP address. IPtables rules route all relevant traffic.
I have a Flint 2 with a vanilla install of openWRT, that hosts wireguard. I have 2 static IPs, because I thought hey running my own mail and smtp services cannot be that hard (turns out yes it is hard and not worth the time to deal). Any who I have Wireguard running on my firewall and Caddy running on one of my pi’s, it gets TLS from lets encrypt.
I have a couple of domains that Caddy uses to point things out to the world or my LAN/vLANs/VPNs. Very few of the things go out to the whole world, but if I wanted to share say a Jellyfin server with someone I could wip up a VPN that only allows Jellyfin through and points DNS to my piholes. Why do I mention my ad blocker? I mention pihole because that what hosts the A records to my domain names that Caddy can serve up, I do not remember why I set it up like this, I would have to look through my notes but pihole points “service”.domain1or2.xyz to caddy which than points to the right service.
Edit: went and looked A records are hosted on pihole for my LAN/vLANs/VPNs to prevent things needing to go out and come back just to tell devices where on my LAN services are.
You may also want to consider a hardened single sign-on solution, as that can enable 2FA for all your services, even those that don't have them built-in. I use Authentik.
