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.

What do you need Tailscale for? Why isn't Wireguard enough?

There's nothing wrong with wireguard at all if you already have the hosting service available. The core value add for Tailscale is that they provide/host the service coordinating your wireguard network.

If I'm not mistaken, there's a self-hosted alternative that let's you run the core of Tailscale's service yourself if you're interested in managing wireguard.
