So don't use it outside your house? Pass

Nothing stops you from using it outside of your house.

I just love it when people post one sentence rebuttals without actually including any usable information what they are talking about.

Tailscale is a super easy vpn that gives you access to your home network from anywhere. And it’s free.

The solution is mentioned already - use vpn, it will solve 90% of the problems that you can encounter. Also you can serve multiple other services this way without exposing them.

the usable information is information that's so widely talked about in this community that they probably expected anyone who is reading this to know what they're talking about.

clearly there are still people who have no experience self-hosting whatsoever that we should be considerate of.

It kind of does. Whatever and yes I'm aware of the list people keep posting and I've looked at it.
