That’s always a danger.

You could host the server on its own vlan and use tailscale to tunnel from a VPS to your server. This way your IP isn’t exposed to the public. You can also add crowdsec or similar on the VPS.

I do the same thing with traefik on my dirt cheap VPS.

You could try wormhole. It makes a direct connection.

You can also use something called wormhole. Very handy tech.

Looks very cool! Added it to my home lab to-do!
