Hi All, I know it was asked multiple times but I’m a noob.

What is the best way to access my server from external network? I know I can open a port on router (not recommended), Tailscales, Wireguard or Direct VPN. I will access from android phone and maybe from other devices.

What I want to try to access (mainly docker on NAS)

  • bitwarden
  • calibre
  • setup home assistant
  • possibly RSS server
  • nextcloud
  • plex server (already remote access)
  • maybe docker apps too

Thanks

    An option is to set up WireGuard vpn as well couple it with your internal DNS for all those services, and nginx proxy manager to grab certs which you’ll need for hosting Bitwarden/vaultwarden.

    443/80 get opened and pointed to nginx which has acl only allowing internal access, then whatever port you choose for WireGuard. On your phone setup the WireGuard app for on demand access once you’re not on your home wifi and job done.
