So, here’s what I set up:

Docker with some containers behind Gluetun

Gluetun gives access to the local network so I can access the containers on my home network through http.

The only port I exposed to the internet is the 32400 for Plex.

I reach my home network remotely only through Wireguard, my fritzbox router has a guided setupt that gives me a wg configuration so I just scanned the QR code with my phone. I learned this opens the default wg port.

Now, you can never be 100% safe, but is my simple setup safe/solid enough?

9 times out of 10 I thinker with it when I am at home

It’s still a work in progress and I am open to any kind of suggestions

    Well the service doesn’t matter. The authentication and authorization to the service does. If whatever you’re running has a solid barrier to entry, then no problems. If it’s open without any challenges, AND it can perform actions that harm your network, then that’s bad news.

    If you’re worried about someone getting into your network and hacking something, the tunnels won’t do much to prevent that. What you’re describing is Security Through Obscurity in a way. You’re putting up extra unnecessary barriers that aren’t preventing access to something that isn’t secure in the first place.
