Port Forward Security & Alternatives

• knock

  5 510 0.0 C

  A port-knocking daemon (by jvinet)

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.

As you said, Wireguard is quite difficult to setup… but I recently found Tailscale and it is an awesome tool to use Wireguard without any difficulties ! It would maybe fit OP’s requirements to reach his server easily from outside his home :) Tailscale Official Website
