For publicly accessible services, look into Cloudflare Tunnels. For private or restricted access services, add a Cloudflare Application to the Tunnel. The Tunnel provides a VPN connection without exposing ports on your router, and the Application provides authentication for access.
True, but then Tailscale needs to be installed on the remote device to connect. A Cloudflare Tunnel and Application can be accessed by pretty much any device. This was more appropriate for my use case. YMMV, of course.
