Tailscale is a great solution for this problem. I too run homeserver with Nextcloud and other stuff, but protected behind Tailscale (Wireguard) VPN. I can't even imagine exposing something like my family's personal data over internet, no matter how convenient it is.

But I sympathize with OP. He is not a developer and it is sad that whatever software engineers produce is vulnerable to script kiddies. Exposing database or any server with a good password should not be exploitable in any way. C and C++ has been failing us for decades yet we continue to use such unsafe stacks.

I'm not sure — what do C and C++ have to do with this?

They are not memory safe by design. See: https://xeiaso.net/blog/series/no-way-to-prevent-this/

Of course all languages can produce insecure binaries, but C/C++ buffer overflows and similar vulnerabilities are likely what AlgebraFox refers to.
