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 just switched to Tailscale for my home server just before the holidays and it has been absolutely amazing. As someone who knows very little about networking, it was pretty painless to set up. Can’t really speak to the security of the whole system, but I tried my best to follow best practices according to their docs.
