The more I am selfhosting the more ports I do open to my reverse proxy.

I also have a VPN (wireguard) but there are also 3 family members that want to access some services.

Open ports are much easier to handle for them.

How many users do you have and how many ports are open?

My case: 4 users (family)/ 8 reversed proxy ports

How many users and open ports have you?

Never open ports to the internet unless you want everybody to see it. Always use VPN to access your selfhosted stuff. If you've got a lot of VPN connections to set up, try generating a QR code for the connection. Makes it a bit faster to setup the client.
