Wireguard.
Unless you actually have a need for the public to access the services then you shouldn't be exposing them. If it's just you and a few household members that need access then you should be using ddns and wireguard, or similar.
My phone auto connects with wireguard as soon as I leave my home ssid, so I never lose access to my services.
Does Wireguard have a centralized server that the server at home connect to in order to expose itself? If not, I don’t see how it’d work for OP, because at this point, based on info shared, I’m inclined to think OP is having trouble exposing ports (be it ISP imposed or knowledge gap) as opposed to having issue with the service / vendor.
How do you do that? Tasker?
I’m on iOS and do the same thing.
The WireGuard app has a setting to “connect on demand”. It’s in the individual connections/configurations.
You can then set either included or excluded SSIDs. There’s also an option to always connect when you’re on mobile/cellular data.
I imagine the Android app is similar.
Not OP but I've been playing with Wireguard (and failing) for a short while and have noticed an option in my Android Phone's settings to always connect to this VPN. Probably that
