I know that VPN's feel clunky, but really, they're the easiest way to setup secure access to your home network. My router has Wireguard built in, so it took 3 minutes to setup. Even produces a QR code to easily setup the client on my phone. But even manually setting it up is a lot less work and worry than the reverse proxy/purchase domain name/ddns/making certs/etc route. Wireguard has apps for pretty much any device, making it very easy to configure. But I do not work in IT or anything like that, this is just my lay advice, so if you ignore it I won't be offended lol. But Wireguard = easy and secure. The only real benefit to doing it through the reverse proxy route is ease of sharing with other people, but that's also its biggest potential security issue.
