The solution is mentioned already - use vpn, it will solve 90% of the problems that you can encounter. Also you can serve multiple other services this way without exposing them.
Tailscale is a super easy vpn that gives you access to your home network from anywhere. And it’s free.
the usable information is information that's so widely talked about in this community that they probably expected anyone who is reading this to know what they're talking about.
clearly there are still people who have no experience self-hosting whatsoever that we should be considerate of.
