Correct, there is no public IP address exposed to my home.
Right now my "servers" are Dell micro i5s. I've have used RPI 3 and 4 in the past. My initial foray into self-hosting were actual servers. Too hot, too noisy and too expensive to run continuously for my needs, but I did learn a lot. I still do even with the micros and pis.
What do you use for your remote server? Because even a VPS seems kinda overkill, if all it's doing is some redirecting. I guess you could do TLS termination there aswell...
