I have several selfhosted services that I have been using for months, now I wish to access these while I am not at home. Likes of nextcloud, nocodb, wikijs and other media sharing self-hosted services

I would like to know what precautions should I take so no one knows that such a domain exists.

should I purchase a crazy numbered domain like 671341412312.com ? or should I go for .tk domains.

Would like to get some suggestions from this community on other aspects that I am missing.

    ZeroTeir (or a VPN) - if all you want is to access those services from outside your network

    IMO - the only reason to put something “on the internet” is so that the entire “internet” can access it

      this ^ I use ZeroTier, and then point subdomains under my personal domain name at the ZeroTier IP for each of my devices. Then I can use those hostnames but no one else can, and name based virtual hosting is easy via wildcard sub-sub-domains

      For example plex.desktop.mydomain.com -> *.desktop.mydomain.com -> desktop.mydomain.com -> 10.x.x.x
