Port Forward Security & Alternatives
As other's have suggested, I use wireguard to get into these services. One other thing I would suggest though is to setup SSH with external access using port knocking along with SSH keys. That means if your VPN is failing for some reason you can at least diagnose it.

UFW setup for decent security
Sure, few links for when you dig in: http://iplists.firehol.org/, https://crowdsec.net/, https://www.zeroflux.org/projects/knock/, https://www.cipherdyne.org/fwknop/

SSH safety measure
I can recommend another protection method: port-knocking. For example with this excellent little helper: https://github.com/jvinet/knock
- knock: a "port knocking" daemon that grants access to services based on sequentially opening a series of network ports.

UFW setup for decent security
Sounds a lot like the way I’ve setup my personal environment. I’ve documented it on GitHub, including how I’ve restricted ssh (cert only) and configured ufw
