Regarding #2, the IP you put in cloudflare is your PUBLIC IP, which you can find with sites like https://whatismyipaddress.com/ or just by finding your WAN IP in your router's settings.
For the port forwarding, you would use the LAN IP for the host running NPM. FYI, port 81 is the NPM management port and does NOT need to be forwarded. Only ports 80 and 443.
IMO, using a reverse proxy is much preferred over a VPN. Some clients cannot run a VPN app (Roku and some Android TV devices). The danger of opening ports 80 and 443 are extremely over inflated.
