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?

The author mentioned closing their VPN port so people would stop trying to break in, but this also cut off the author's access.

Tailscale allows you to connect to your home network without opening a port to allow incoming connections.
