For example, I prefer to use a VPN instead of port forwarding. And I use SSH for anything I used to use an FTP for.

TOTP MFA highly recommended on SSH and webconsole. The so called "google-authenticator" makes it easy and despite the name does not use any external Google services.

Yes, but if using an android phone, the Aegis app may be a better choice. Guaranteed to not have tracking, and secrets are encrypted

That is indeed what I am using as well. The "google-authenticator" is just an (badly named) open source software that runs on the server and is available in most Linux distro repositories.

It can function as that as well AFAIK.
