So really you have a decision to make here. Will you always have access to the VPN when you want to use those services. I suspect the answer is no in practicality. So I prefer to use something like Cloudflare tunnels to provide secure access to my network resources I'm choosing to share. I dont have to worry about ever use and every device always using a VPN. That's just my preference though. It should be noted that I believe video and audio streaming is still against thr ToS for cloudflare tunnels. So for those applications I night use a different strategy like a VPN or wireguard.
