I want to start with self hosting something available from internet. Currently I have jellyfin, nas etc but everything is available in local network.
My biggest concern is securing local network. I thought i will run application on separate server, I will use small vps as proxy, but Im not sure if it will be enough


Get you a vps and start! Or if you don’t want to pay extra money host a tor service. You don’t have to open ports for that.
