[Question] External access for my network (self.selfhost)

Hi All, I know it was asked multiple times but I'm a noob.

What is the best way to access my server from external network? I know I can open a port on router (not recommended), Tailscales, Wireguard or Direct VPN. I will access from android phone and maybe from other devices.

What I want to try to access (mainly docker on NAS)

bitwarden
calibre
setup home assistant
possibly RSS server
nextcloud
plex server (already remote access)
maybe docker apps too

Thanks

I managed to get this setup: cloudflare (not tunnel) and nginx. I hope all is well with security, certs as I have vaultwarden there (behind 2fa).

Is there a way to check security of this connection? I used Mozilla Observatory and similar. My worry is that I see traffic from other countries (analytic in cloudflare). Should I worry or this is normal scanning?

I now locked cloudflare so it is only accessible from my country.
